Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) can help evaluate the lung function and the presence of lung disease. ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and NRDS (Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome) are specific conditions within the broad category of lung diseases and would be ordered only if the symptoms and history suggest them. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) are not diagnostic tests for lung disease.
