Diagnostic Services for Accurate Evaluation

To diagnose respiratory conditions accurately, we use high-precision and advanced diagnostic tools:

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT)

Measures lung performance, airflow, lung volume, and gas exchange.

Spirometry

Evaluates how effectively you inhale and exhale air; essential for asthma and COPD diagnosis.

High-Resolution CT (HRCT) Chest

Provides detailed imaging of lungs, helping detect infections, fibrosis, and structural abnormalities.

Sleep Study (Polysomnography)

Used for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-related breathing issues.

Bronchoscopy

A minimally invasive procedure allowing direct visualization of airways to detect infections, tumors, or blockages.

Allergy Testing

Identifies triggers causing respiratory distress.

Chest X-ray and Diagnostic Imaging

Quick and effective imaging for lung infections, fluid accumulation, and more.
