What is Pulmonology?

Pulmonology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of respiratory and lung conditions. Pulmonologists are trained to handle a variety of issues related to the respiratory system, including chronic diseases such as asthma and COPD, as well as acute conditions like pneumonia and bronchitis. The field encompasses the evaluation of lung function, imaging studies, and advanced therapies to address respiratory health concerns.

Pulmonologists use a range of diagnostic tools, including spirometry, chest X-rays, and CT scans, to accurately assess lung function and identify underlying conditions. Treatment may involve medication management, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. The goal of pulmonology is to improve breathing, manage symptoms, and enhance overall lung health.
