Our Key Pulmonary Diagnostic Services

  • Asthma
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

2. Bronchoscopy

A minimally invasive procedure using a flexible camera to examine the airways and lungs. It aids in diagnosing:

  • Lung infections
  • Tumors or abnormal growths
  • Persistent coughs and unexplained bleeding

3. Imaging Studies

We offer high-resolution CT scans and chest X-rays to identify structural abnormalities, infections, and other lung-related issues. Imaging studies are crucial for detecting:

  • Tuberculosis (TB)
  • Lung cancer
  • Pleural effusion

4. Allergy Testing

Tailored to identify triggers that exacerbate respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, helping patients manage symptoms effectively.

5. Sleep Studies (Polysomnography)

This diagnostic test evaluates sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders. Proper diagnosis ensures improved sleep quality and overall health.

6. Thoracentesis

A procedure to remove fluid from the pleural space for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, commonly performed for:

  • Pleural effusion
  • Lung infections

7. Sputum Analysis and Cultures

Tests to detect bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, particularly for tuberculosis and pneumonia.

Specialized Pulmonary Procedures

1. Biopsy Procedures

  • Lung Biopsy: Diagnoses interstitial lung diseases or lung cancer.
