METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING INTERVENTIONAL PULMONOLOGY

摘要

The invention provides a method and system for assessing an interventional pulmonology procedure. A plurality of sound transducers are fixed on a surface of the individual over an individual's respiratory tract that generate signals indicative of pressure waves at the transducers. A processor receives the signals and generates from the signals an image indicative of airflow in at least a portion of the respiratory tract before the interventional pulmonology procedure is carried out. A second image indicative of airflow in at least a portion of the respiratory tract is then generated from the signals after the interventional procedure has been carried out. display the first and second sequences of images simultaneously on a display device. The first and second images are then displayed on a display.
