radiographic image of thoracic cavity (chest film)
chest xray
computer generated series of xray images show thoracic structures in cross section and other planes
computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest
magnetic waves create detailed images of the chest in frontal, lateral and cross sectional planes
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest
radioactive glucose is injected and images reveal metabolic activity in the lungs
positron emission tomography (PET) scan of the lung
detection device record radioactivity in the lung after injection of a radioisotope or inhalation of small amount of radioactive gas (xenon)
ventilation perfusion (VQ) scan
fiberoptic endoscope examination of the bronchial tubes
bronchoscopy
placement of tube through the mouth into the pharynx, larynx, and trachea to establish an airway
endotracheal intubation
visual examination of voice box
laryngoscopy
removal of lung tissue followed by microscopic examination
lung biopsy
endoscopic visual examination of the mediastinum
mediastinoscopy
tests measuring ventilation mechanics of the lungs
pulmonary function tests (PFTs)
surgical puncture to remove fluid from pleural space
thoracentesis
large surgical incision of the chest
thoracotomy
visual examination of the chest via small incisions and use of an endoscope
thoracoscopy
allows surgeon to view chest from a video monitor
video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS)
surgical creation of an opening into the trachea through the neck
tracheostomy
determines past or present tuberculous infection based on positive skin reaction
tuberculin tests
flexible, plastic chest tube passed into the pleural space through an opening in the chest
tube thoracostomy
