  1. SVC Purpose: To determine the maximum amount of the volume that can be taken in and exhaled with a single breath

  2. FVC • To measure flow rates and lung volumes in order to determine the presence of obstructed or restricted lung impairment

  3. MVV • To measure muscle strength during times of increased exertion

  4. DLCO • To evaluate the ability of the lungs to take in oxygen from the air and transfer the oxygen across the lungs and into the blood stream

  5. TGV • To measure the distribution of air in the lung, such as RV, ERV, IC, etc.
