a measurement of how much oxygen is carried from your lungs into your bloodstream.

A pulmonary function test that measures the ability of the lung to permit the passage of gas into the blood.

A pulmonary function test used to assess diffusion defects at the alveolar capillary membrane level.

A measure of how well the lungs take in air to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide and other gases.

In biology, diffusion capacity is a measurement of the lung's ability to absorb and excrete gases, notably, oxygen and carbon dioxide. It is part of a comprehensive test series of lung function called pulmonary function testing.
