Spirometry

Spirometry is a simple, non-invasive test that measures how much and how quickly you can exhale air. It helps diagnose and monitor lung conditions like asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders.

Lung Volumes

Lung volume testing evaluates the total amount of air your lungs can hold. It provides detailed insights into restrictive or obstructive lung diseases, offering a complete picture of your respiratory health.

DLCO Study

The Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) test measures how well gases like oxygen move from the lungs into the bloodstream. It’s especially useful in diagnosing interstitial lung disease (ILD), pulmonary hypertension, and emphysema.

6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

The 6MWT assesses your endurance and oxygen levels while walking for six minutes. It helps evaluate the functional capacity of patients with heart or lung conditions and monitors treatment effectiveness.
