Specialist interdisciplinary consultation and other evidence-based investigative facilities for expert diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis of Respiratory / Lung Disorders
- Radiographic techniques to determine vasculature of the heart and lungs, to assist in diagnosis.
- Other specialised processes by a thoracic surgeon.
- Laboratory investigation of blood to check the level of oxygen and other substances in your blood and sometimes measurements of arterial blood gas measurements.
- Spirometry used to diagnose airflow obstruction by determination of the maximum airflow at a particular lung volume. By measuring how rapidly you can breathe air in and out, this test measures the wellness of your lungs.
- Bronchoscopy: Uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end, inserted mostly through the mouth, nose or occasionally through a tracheostomy, to have the interior view of the air passages and the lungs.
- X-Ray of the chest uses low doses of radiation to get an image of your lungs and other respiratory portions of your chest.
- CT Scan
- Scintigraphy and other types of Nuclear medicine
- Positron Emission Tomography: Positron Emission Tomography (or PET) is a nuclear medicine functional imaging technique used to observe metabolic processes of the body as an aid to diagnose the disease, especially Lung Cancer.
- Polysomnography: Helps determine sleep disorders
Any physician or surgeon in the department of Pulmonology follows the methods given below to diagnose and treat the respiratory disease a patient is suffering.
- Mucus and fluids are removed from the lungs
- Try to ease the problematic breathing due to obstruction of the nasal passage
- The tissue samples to diagnose diseases
- Analyse the lungs and airways through various tests to help figure out the condition
