Imaging: A virtual consultation may be scheduled online with Healthtap as an inbox consultation. You will be able to upload the results directly for formal review. There are other parameters listed on the form which are also important. The total lung capacity is slightly below normal, the FEV1 is normal. The DLCO has to be interpreted in context with volume and Hb.
