Clinical technologists are concerned with the whole body and the functioning of the organs. They use specialised procedures and complex apparatus for the diagnosis and treatment of disease as the result of physical malfunction. These procedures involve the operation of sophisticated electronic equipment, as well as the interpretation of the results. Clinical Technologists usually work closely with a doctor or specialist.

Pulmonology is the study of the respiratory system and the functioning of the airways and lungs. The technologist’s main concern is to assist doctors in the diagnosis of airway disorders and lung diseases with the aid of electronic equipment. Several sleep disorders are associated with interruptions in breathing, so an in depth understanding of the process and physiology of sleep is part of the Pulmonary Clinical Technologists expertise.
