The pontiff, who will turn 87 next month, was given a CAT scan, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said. The test at Rome's Gemelli hospital, where he was treated for a respiratory infection earlier this year, was done to rule out any possible respiratory problems and came back negative, Mr Bruni said.
Earlier the Vatican said the Pope, who had part of one lung removed&nbsp;as a young man, had to cancel his public audiences because of the flu.
In June, the pontiff had abdominal surgery at the same Rome hospital to repair a hernia and remove intestinal scarring.
Asked at the time about his&nbsp;health, he quipped in a reply that has become his standard line: "Still alive, you know."
The Pope, who has headed the Catholic Church since 2013, is due to travel to Dubai on Friday for the COP28 climate change conference.
