Review
An Overview of the Pulmonary System
Excerpt
The diagnosis of pulmonary diseases and disorders requires the integration of pulmonary history and physical examination data acquired at the bedside with data provided by chest roentgenograms and the pulmonary function and blood gas laboratories. Taken together, these modalities provide a framework for generating and pruning a differential diagnosis and for planning therapy.
