“If genetic testing proves PCD, then you have a diagnosis; however, we’re finding that in up to 30% of patients undergoing genetic testing for PCD, the testing is negative or ambiguous, and that can be where high-speed video microscopy is helpful.”
LEADERS A pulmonology research team at Riley Children’s Health is using high- speed video microscopy (HSVM) and immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) as part of a leading-edge research program to clinically validate other methods for diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
