Pulmonary Function Lab
Provides lung function tests to measure how well the lungs are working and to diagnose lung disease. Using specialized equipment, trained staff measure lung capacity and lung function with and without breathing medication.
Tests may include a non-invasive breathing test such as spirometry testing and other types of lung function tests used to diagnose lung disease, obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other breathing problems.
