Respiratory diagnostic tests empower you to take back control of your respiratory health. From FeNo testing to bronchoscopies, our team of pulmonary specialists offers a range of tests to inform your treatment plan and take steps toward healing.

What are Respiratory Diagnostic Tests?

Respiratory diagnostic tests are examinations that assess the functioning of your lungs and airways, helping your doctor accurately diagnose a pulmonary condition. If your doctor recommends a respiratory diagnostic test, it's because they want to gather specific information about your respiratory health beyond what can be determined through a physical exam alone. These tests are particularly useful for identifying conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis.

Unlike pulmonary function tests (PFTs) , which are noninvasive procedures that measure lung function through breathing maneuvers, respiratory diagnostic tests assess the underlying causes of respiratory symptoms. They can reveal details such as inflammation levels, airway constriction or the presence of abnormalities within the lungs.

How Respiratory Diagnostic Tests Work

When you undergo a respiratory diagnostic test, you'll be guided through procedures to evaluate your respiratory system. These tests range from noninvasive techniques, like measuring fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNo) levels, to more invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy. Each test provides valuable insights into your respiratory health, aiding in treatment decisions and monitoring the progression of respiratory conditions.
