    A new computer program aids in interpreting pulmonary function tests, including flow-volume loops and lung volumes. This tool can help speed up reporting and potentially serve as an educational resource in respiratory medicine.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is crucial for diagnosing and managing respiratory diseases.
    • Interpreting PFT data, including flow-volume loops, lung volumes, and diffusing capacity, can be complex and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a computer program designed for the interpretation of various pulmonary function tests.
    • To highlight the program's capabilities in comparing pre- and post-bronchodilator data and previous test results.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer program for PFT data analysis.
    • Integration of algorithms for interpreting flow-volume loops, lung volumes, and diffusing capacity.
    • Inclusion of comparative analysis features for bronchodilator response and longitudinal tracking.

    Main Results:

    • The program facilitates the interpretation of diverse PFT parameters.
    • It enables direct comparison of test results before and after bronchodilator administration.
    • The software also allows for comparison with historical PFT data.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer-assisted interpretation of PFTs can significantly accelerate the reporting process.
    • This technology holds potential as an educational tool for respiratory medicine trainees and practitioners.
    • Automated interpretation may improve efficiency and consistency in PFT analysis.
