Pediatric Pulmonary Diagnostic Center

The Pediatric Pulmonary Diagnostic Center was established to effectively evaluate and formulate treatment plans for one of the most challenging groups with respiratory symptoms - the preschool child. Many of the tests are exclusive to National Jewish Health and not available elsewhere.

We offer tests to assess:

• Lung function and structure
• Lung volume/inflation
• Lung elasticity and compliance
• Exercise capability
• Mouth, throat and tongue functions
• Allergies
• Bone density
• Digestive tract anatomy and function
• Consequences of recurrent respiratory tract infections
• Nasal potential difference
• Laryngoscopy
• Bronchoscopy
