Lungs, respiratory system

If you suffer from lung or respiratory problems, our specialists provide expert diagnoses using state-of-the-art imaging and minimally invasive treatments.

Chest pain, breathing difficulties, and chronic coughing are recognized as symptoms of respiratory diseases. Sometimes there may also be loss of appetite, or fever, caused by inflammatory lung disease. Modern imaging techniques – x-ray, computed tomography, MRI – and the expertise of renowned pneumologists and thoracic surgeons can quickly provide clarity for you in these cases.

If a biopsy or intervention is unavoidable, Graz Ragnitz Private Hospital offers minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment. Operations on the pharynx, trachea, bronchial tubes, lungs, and pleura can increasingly be performed endoscopically by using a probe and a mini camera. Even with major operations and the often protracted phase of rehabilitation, you are in the best hands with us.
