Recent developments in sensor technology and computational analysis methods enable
new strategies to measure and interpret lung acoustic signals that originate internally, such …

Background: The field of computer-assisted mapping of lung sounds is constantly evolving
and several devices have been developed in this field. Objectives: Our objective was to …

This article is focused on the development of an acoustic pressure sensor with extremely
high sensitivity and small footprint. We propose a sensor design consisting of micron-sized …

This work deals with the assessment of different parameterization techniques for lung
sounds (LS) acquired on the whole posterior thoracic surface for normal versus abnormal LS …

Despite ample research on the association between indoor air pollution and allergic disease
prevalence, public health and environmental policies still lack predictive evidence for …

The stethoscope is widely considered to be an unreliable instrument. Many studies
document the significant observer variability in its use. Numerous other diagnostic tools are …

High-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) therapy is one of the techniques to facilitate
the draining of a patient's lung secretion in pathological situations, and smart therapy with …

This paper presents results of a computational study focused on examining the role of
manufacturing-induced voids in the initiation and growth of damage at the microstructural …

Lung sounds can be translated into acoustic imaging as an alternative to standard imaging
to assess lung function frequently for improved therapy efficiency. This study proposes a …

Noninvasive measurement of mechanical wave motion (sound and vibration) in the lungs
may be of diagnostic value, as it can provide information about the mechanical properties of …
