Pulmonology

---

Pulmonology is the medical specialty that focuses on the lungs and respiratory system. Pulmonologists diagnose and treat conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, and sleep apnea. They also manage patients with breathing difficulties and respiratory infections. Pulmonology involves tests like chest X-rays, CT scans, and lung function tests to assess lung health. Proper lung function is essential for oxygenating the body and maintaining overall health.
