Pulmonology

Pulmonology, also known as pneumology, deals with the prevention and treatment of lung complaints. To this end, the lungs, bronchi, mediastinum and pleura are examined with the help of x-rays, computer-tomography, bronchoscopy and allergy tests, for example. The most commonly-known diseases include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and pleurisy. Though not directly related to pulmonology, there is also thoracic surgery, which involves treating lung tumours through radiation. Below are the rapid tests available in the field of pulmonology.
