Our commitment is to deliver precise, timely, and patient-focused diagnostic services in a comfortable environment.

What is a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)?

Trusted Radiologist | Expert Interventionist | Leader in Diagnostic Imaging

A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is a group of non-invasive breathing tests that measure how efficiently your lungs work. These tests evaluate:

PFT helps determine whether your lungs are functioning normally and assists in diagnosing obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.

The most commonly performed component of PFT is Spirometry, which measures how much air you can inhale and exhale and how quickly you can breathe out.

Why is a Pulmonary Function Test Performed?

Doctors recommend a PFT to:

How Does a Pulmonary Function Test Work?

During the test, you will breathe through a sterile mouthpiece connected to a computerized machine.

The entire procedure is safe, painless, and performed under the guidance of trained professionals.

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)

Comprehensive respiratory diagnostics measuring lung capacity, airflow, and overall pulmonary health for accurate detection and care.

Types of Pulmonary Function Tests We Offer

🫁

Spirometry

Measures the precise amount and speed of air entering and leaving your lungs.

💊

Bronchodilator Reversibility Test

Assesses immediate improvement in lung function after inhaling prescribed medication.

📊

Lung Volume Measurement

Determines the absolute maximum amount of air your lungs can safely hold.

Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)

Measures how forcefully and quickly you can exhale air during a single breath.

📈

Flow-Volume Loop Analysis

Evaluates airflow patterns to pinpoint upper and lower airway obstructions.

Conditions Diagnosed & Monitored with PFT

Asthma

Detects airway narrowing and evaluates treatment response to bronchodilators.

COPD

Assesses persistent airflow limitation and categorizes disease severity.

Chronic Bronchitis

Measures breathing impairment caused by long-term bronchial inflammation.

Emphysema

Evaluates lung tissue damage and reduced elasticity causing trapped air.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)

Helps identify restrictive pulmonary disorders affecting deep lung tissue.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

Assesses reduced lung expansion and total capacity caused by tissue scarring.

Occupational Lung Diseases

Evaluates lung health in individuals exposed to industrial dust, chemicals, or vapors.

Allergic Airway Disorders

Identifies hyperresponsiveness and hypersensitivity in environmental conditions.

Persistent Cough
Wheezing Sounds
Shortness of Breath
Chest Tightness
Exertional Breathlessness
Frequent Infections
Long-Term Smoking History
Family History of Lung Disease
Suspected Asthma or COPD
Unexplained Breathlessness
Reduced Exercise Tolerance
💡 Pre-Surgical Clearance Note: PFTs are also routinely recommended prior to major surgery to evaluate overall lung fitness and anesthesia risk.
