Pulmonary Function Test (PFT): This test may be performed for patients with symptoms of lung problems, as part of a routine physical, or to assess how well your lungs are functioning before undergoing surgery. A PFT can be used to help diagnose asthma, allergies, emphysema (COPD), and other lung disorders.
Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is the primary main diagnostic test for epilepsy/seizures. An EEG may also play a role in diagnosing other brain disorders such as brain injury, stroke, sleep disorders, or dementia.
Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG): This test looks for patterns among heartbeats and rhythms to diagnose various heart conditions. An EKG is a noninvasive, painless test and takes just a few minutes.
