Technology has greatly influenced the field of pulmonary medicine, improving diagnostics, treatment, and patient care for respiratory conditions. Here are some examples of technologies commonly used in pulmonary medicine:
- Spirometry
- Diffusion Capacity Testing
- Plethysmography
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
- Mechanical Ventilators
- Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
- Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS)
- Exercise Training Systems

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a respiratory disease that results in breathing difficulties. This disease is usually associated with smokers or people exposed to breathing pollutants.
Doctors usually recommend tests like X-ray, CT scan, or tests like Spirometry or Lung Function Tests to check the health of the lungs.
