Thora-3DI™ for Evaluation of Severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

In brief

To demonstrate differences in tidal breathing patterns measured by SLP(Structured Light Plethysmography) between healthy subjects and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The correlation between SLP parameters and standard lung function parameters measured by body box and spirometry will also be assessed. Trends in SLP breathing patterns between the different GOLD (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) stages of COPD, and between those and healthy subjects, will be investigated to assess whether SLP can detect differences between groups.
