LUNG VOLUME
DIAGNOSTIC EXCELLENCE AT SODEPUR
A comprehensive pulmonary evaluation that goes beyond standard spirometry. Explore complete lung capacities, air trapping, and functional residual volume using advanced, non-invasive technology.
While routine spirometry records how much air you blow out rapidly, Lung Volume Testing accurately assesses the total space in your respiratory system: including Total Lung Capacity (TLC), Residual Volume (RV), and Functional Residual Capacity (FRC).
Patients with restrictive lung disorders, pulmonary fibrosis, severe COPD, or unexplained breathlessness often show borderline normal spirometry. Precise lung volume determination detects trapped air and true restriction with unparalleled clarity.

ADVANCED PULMONARY DIAGNOSTICS
PulmoCare Center Sodepur is proud to feature the state-of-the-art MiniBox+ device for precise and comfortable lung volume measurements.
This advanced technology provides rapid, accurate results, making your diagnostic experience efficient and stress-free. It stands as an essential tool for comprehensive respiratory assessment without claustrophobic body plethysmography chambers.
Complete results delivered in under 60 seconds with tidal breathing
High patient comfort suitable for children, elderly, and mobility-restricted patients
Critical clinical indications for precise pulmonary volume assessment
Accurate lung volume measurements help in identifying and differentiating between obstructive and restrictive lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Regular measurements allow doctors to track disease progression and assess how well treatments are working, enabling adjustments for optimal patient care.
Lung volume tests are vital before surgery, especially thoracic or abdominal procedures, to evaluate a patient's respiratory reserve and predict potential complications.

PULMONARY DIAGNOSTICS & CARE
Measurement of lung volume is an essential diagnostic foundation in pulmonology. It evaluates total lung capacity, residual volume, and functional residual capacity, providing vital clinical insights into restrictive and obstructive lung conditions.
The maximum volume of air that the lungs can hold following a full inspiration. Crucial for identifying true restrictive lung deficits.
The volume of air that remains trapped in the lungs after a maximal exhalation. An elevated RV reflects hyperinflation or air trapping.
The volume remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal, quiet expiration. Indicates resting balance of chest wall and lung elastic forces.
Evaluation is strongly recommended for patients presenting with unexplained dyspnea, persistent chronic cough, or suspected obstructive diseases (such as COPD and asthma). It is equally indispensable in screening and tracking restrictive diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, chest wall disorders, and neuromuscular respiratory weakness.
An elevated RV directly indicates air trapping and hyperinflation, whereas a reduced TLC is the gold standard confirmation for pulmonary restriction. At PulmoCare Center @Sodepur, our pulmonary specialists meticulously correlate these metrics with your clinical history for definitive diagnoses and tailored management plans.
We are proud to feature the MiniBox+ system — pioneering technology for rapid, cabin-free lung volume measurement. It replaces intimidating plethysmography boxes with a comfortable, effortless testing experience, ensuring reliable results vital for precise diagnosis and modern clinical care.
Patient Guidance & Support
Find clear answers to your common questions about pulmonary capacity evaluations and our advanced MiniBox+ diagnostics at PulmoCare Center @Sodepur.
A pulmonary volume test measures the total amount of air your lungs can hold and evaluates how your respiratory capacity functions overall. It plays an essential role in diagnosing and monitoring a wide variety of respiratory conditions.
It is crucial for accurately assessing diseases such as asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and restrictive lung disorders. It delivers critical physiological insights into trapped gas and absolute volumes that standard spirometry alone cannot provide.
The MiniBox+ is an innovative, booth-less device exclusively installed at PulmoCare Center @Sodepur. It delivers faster, highly accurate lung volume measurements without confining patients to an enclosed cabin, making the experience stress-free and accessible.
Avoid smoking or strenuous physical exercise at least one hour prior to your visit. Refrain from taking specific inhalers or bronchodilators on the testing morning unless explicitly directed by your treating pulmonologist.
You will sit relaxed in an open chair and breathe naturally into an ergonomic sterile mouthpiece connected to the MiniBox+. The device records regular breathing cycles without forced breathless maneuvers, completing in under 15 minutes.
Your diagnostic results are interpreted directly by our experienced pulmonology consultants. You will receive a detailed report and discuss immediate clinical findings during your consultation or within a few working days.
Our respiratory care specialists are ready to guide you through preparation and scheduling.

A pulmonary volume test measures the amount of air your lungs can hold and how your lung capacity functions. It helps diagnose and monitor various respiratory conditions.
It is crucial for assessing diseases such as asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and other conditions that affect breathing. It provides detailed information that spirometry alone cannot offer.
The MiniBox+ is a cutting-edge device available at PulmoCare Center @Sodepur. It offers faster and more comfortable lung volume measurement, using advanced technology that is less invasive and highly accurate.
Avoid smoking or strenuous exercise at least one hour before the test. Also, refrain from using inhalers or specific respiratory medications on the day of the test, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
You will be asked to sit comfortably and breathe into a mouthpiece connected to the MiniBox+. The device will record your breathing patterns to accurately measure your lung volumes. The test is quick and usually takes less than 15 minutes.
Your results will be analyzed by our specialists in pulmonology. Generally, you can expect to discuss the results with your doctor at your next appointment or by phone within a few business days.
