The Physicians and research staff at Nebraska Pulmonary Specialties have a strong commitment to clinical research. A clinical research trial is a scientific study that tests the effectiveness of a new medical treatment, medication or device with volunteer patients. Patient volunteers receive these investigational treatments under close supervision of a physician, our research coordinators and the sponsor of the clinical trial.

We are an American College of Radiology accredited facility. This means we meet national standards for CT imaging. We have a state of the art 64 slice CT scanner, professionally trained technologists with more than 14 years experience, together with 9 board certified Radiologists with a combined 96 years experience.

A chest x-ray is performed by standing or sitting between an x-ray machine and film. The x-rays pass through your body and create an image on the film. A chest x-ray gives doctors a look at your lungs, heart, ribs, and other structures in your chest.

Pulmonary function tests are breathing tests to find out how well you move air in and out of your lungs (spirometry), the size of your lungs (body plethysmography), and how well oxygen enters your body (diffusion capacity). The spirometry is occasionally performed both before and after receiving an inhaled medication. The purpose of such testing is to determine your responsiveness to medication, which may affect the diagnosis and treatment options.

Our physicians are committed to rural medicine, and as such, have established relationships with numerous facilities across Nebraska and Iowa. Our goal is to meet your needs, and so we have developed programs that range from in-person visits to telemedicine visits for fifteen locations (and growing.)
