Theses and Dissertations
Auscultation has been widely regarded as one of the most important noninvasive diagnostic tools for clinical diagnosis of the respiratory tract. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a software application capable of extracting the key features of respiratory sound signals from the lungs and trachea of healthy persons. The efficacy of the program was evaluated by the verification of the important features of the sound signals from the left and right lungs and the trachea such as 1) right and left lung symmetry and 2) dissimilarity between the trachea and both lungs. The program was developed in LabView …
