Abstract

Respiratory diseases are a significant global health burden, necessitating accurate and timely diagnosis for effective management. This article provides an overview of current diagnostic practices in respiratory medicine, including clinical evaluation, imaging, laboratory tests, and emerging technologies. Challenges in diagnosis, such as heterogeneous presentations and limited access to diagnostic tools, are discussed. Future directions, including multidisciplinary approaches, telemedicine, and research-driven innovation, are proposed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in respiratory medicine.
