Advanced testing

We utilize the most advanced technologies and programs to diagnose your condition, measure progress and to help you better manage your situation. These include:

  • Pulmonary function testing: this test assesses your breathing, lung function and lung volume. It typically involves breathing into a device called a spirometer.
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG): this non-invasive test detects respiratory problems by analyzing changes in brain activity caused by breathing. This is also helpful to detect neurological disorders.
  • Bronchoscopy: this is a more detailed inspection of the lungs that involves inserting a small tube into your airways so the doctor can visualize and capture images of what is happening in your respiratory system. This is useful to detect abnormal growths and diagnose different types of disorders, including inflammation, infections or cancer.
  • Pulmonary hypertension intervention: patients who describe symptoms of pulmonary hypertension are given a thorough examination including certain tests.
