OUR PULMONARY SERVICES INCLUDE:
Pulmonary Function Testing: a non-invasive diagnostic test that checks to see how well your lungs work. PFTs can diagnose lung diseases and measure the severity of lung problems. If you are receiving treatment for a lung disease, a PFT can help determine how well that therapy is working.
Chest x-ray, CT-scan with or without contrast: produce images of your heart, lungs, blood vessels, airways, and the bones of your chest and spine. A low dose CT-scan uses low doses of radiation to screen for lung cancer for people who have a history of heavy smoking, smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years, and those between 55 and 80 years old.
