These measurements are essential for analyzing lung function; they provide information to further the diagnostic process and assess therapy. There are two major steps in measuring lung Volumes : (a) deter-mining FRC and (b) measurement of slow vital capacity (SVC) and its subdivisions.
70 CHAPTER 2 Lung Volumes is performed in conjunction with the single-breath carbon monoxide diffusing capacity test (DL,CO) and is discussed only briefl y in this chapter.It is discussed more extensively in Chapter 3. The use of CT scans has increased signifi cantly and will be briefl y …
