Lung Function Testing in the 21st Century

Lung Function Testing in the 21st Century: Methodologies and Tools Bridging Engineering to Clinical Practice covers the complete aspects of lung function testing, ranging from standardized to newly introduced (IOS, FOT) methods.

It provides an updated overview of advances in respiratory engineering, along with advice on which lung function tests are appropriate for which purpose.

The author discusses non-standardized lung function testing, methods, clinical tests, diagnosis and future perspectives.

Lung function measurement devices and protocols are also covered.

This book covers multidisciplinary domains, bringing new technology ideas from mathematics, physics, biology and engineering into the field of respiratory engineering.

Users will find a single resource that brings together all of the disparate information on lung function testing technology currently contained in many journal articles.
