Rated among the best in the nation for Pulmonology by U.S.News & World Report, physicians of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Jefferson deliver comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for diseases that affect the respiratory system. The Division staff uses endoscopic, imaging and physiologic testing procedures.
In addition, our specialists take advantage of advanced diagnostic techniques involving thoracoscopy and transthoracic needle biopsy, in collaboration with specialists in thoracic radiology and thoracic surgery.
Our programs in asthma, emphysema and interstitial lung disease are nationally recognized for asthma research and in management of difficult asthmatic conditions. Pulmonary medicine specialists apply the newest technology and strategies in ventilator and respiratory care and in weaning patients from ventilator dependency.
Jefferson also has a Lung Nodule Clinic and a Lung Cancer Screening Program, one of the first in the Delaware Valley, to further evaluate lung nodules and screen for lung cancer in high-risk patients.
