What is a Lung Function Test?

A lung function test is a non-invasive procedure that measures how well your lungs are functioning.

With advanced equipment, we assess lung volume, capacity, airflow rates, and gas exchange. This test helps us diagnose, monitor, and manage conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders. Our experienced team ensures accurate results to provide valuable insights into your respiratory health.
