| pubmed-article:692471 | pubmed:abstractText | A system is described for the analysis of respiratory sounds by means of a dual-channel sound envelope detector and a real-time spectrum analyzer. A three-dimensional spectral analyzer display for frequency, amplitude, and time has been utilized. Respiratory sounds have been observed with intensities up to 0.5 N/m2 and with normal frequencies in the range of 0 to 1.5 kHz. This system can extract useful information from the sounds of respiration, information which is not available by conventional auscultation. | lld:pubmed |
