SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING AND IMAGING RESPIRATORY TRACT SOUNDS

摘要

A system and method for analyzing the respiratory tract sounds. The system comprises a plurality of transducers that are placed on the individual's skin over the thorax. A signal analysis module analyzes sound signals recorded by the transducers and produces a first analysis product. A display device displays an image based upon the first analysis product. The image includes a pattern with an overall shape corresponding to that of the respiratory system. Regions in the image that are suspected of having a pathological condition may be indicated.
