Pulmonology is a branch of medicine focused on the health of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and breathing muscles. It plays a crucial role in managing both acute and chronic respiratory illnesses that significantly affect quality of life and overall health.
A pulmonologist is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, and lung cancer. They use advanced tests such as chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, and sleep studies to identify diseases and monitor treatment progress.
