Pulmonary Function Test

A pulmonary function test measures how well your lungs take in and release air, and how well they move gases such as oxygen from the atmosphere into your body’s circulation.

Lung Cancer Screening

Lung cancer screenings use low-dose computed tomography to make detailed images of your lungs. The scan only takes a few minutes and is not painful.

Lung Transplant

During a lung transplant, surgeons remove your diseased lung and then attach a donor lung to your airway and to the blood vessels that lead to and from your heart.

Organ Transplant

An organ transplant is a surgical procedure in which an organ that is damaged or not functioning properly is removed and replaced by a health organ from a donor. The donor may be a deceased person or a living person. A living donor may be a relative of the organ recipient.

Kidney Donor

Kidney donors must be evaluated thoroughly and cleared to make sure they can lead a normal life post-surgery. When the kidney is removed, the single normal kidney will increase in size to compensate for the loss of the donated kidney.

Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly.

Liver Transplant

A liver transplant is a surgical procedure performed when a person has reached end-stage liver disease. It involves the removal of the diseased liver, which is replaced with a liver from a deceased donor or a piece of a liver from a live donor.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AAT deficiency) is an inherited condition that raises your risk for lung and liver disease. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a protein that protects the lungs.

Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of breath.

Chest Wall Masses

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems.

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetically inherited disorder that affects about 30,000 people in the U.S. This disorder results from a gene mutation and is characterized by abnormal function of virtually every organ system of the body, including the pancreas, liver, digestive tract, reproductive organs, sinuses, and lungs. The abnormal function of these organ systems results from buildup of abnormally thick mucus that leads to a cycle of progressive inflammation, infection, and damage.
