[The phonopulmographic topography of the lung]
Abstract:
The method of phonopulmographic topography of the lung developed by the authors is presented which permits determining elevation of apices, width of the Krönig fields topography of inferior borders and mobility of inferior border of the lung. The method of phonopulmography applied to study local and regional pulmonary ventilation is used as a basis. Examinations of practically healthy people and those with pulmonary pathology have shown that this method has high resolution, it is safe and informative.

Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
PFTs involve using a spirometer, a...
