This study presents an efficient method for detecting wheezes, a type of abnormal lung sound, using Continuous Wavelet Transform. This technique aids in diagnosing obstructive airways diseases and reducing data for long-term screening.

Area of Science:

  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Signal Processing
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Continuous abnormal lung sounds, such as wheezes, are crucial indicators for diagnosing obstructive airways pathologies.
  • Accurate detection of wheezes is essential for effective patient management and disease monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an efficient method for detecting wheezes in breath sound recordings.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) combined with scale-dependent thresholding for wheeze detection.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized time-scale representation of breath sound recordings.
  • Employed Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) for signal analysis.
  • Applied scale-dependent thresholding for wheeze extraction.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated promising performance in detecting and extracting wheezes from background noise.
  • Showcased the ability of the method to identify continuous abnormal lung sounds.
  • Indicated potential for data-volume reduction in long-term wheezing screening.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed CWT-based method is effective for wheeze detection in respiratory sound analysis.
  • This approach facilitates the diagnosis of obstructive airways diseases.
  • The technique offers potential benefits for large-scale wheezing screening, particularly in sleep studies.
