Abstract

Modern medical methods are characterized by influence of electronics to conventional and subjective diagnostics. In this article we propose integration of virtual instrumentation based on LabVIEW to respirology. Designed LabVIEW instruments can be applied each phase of implementation: sound acquisition, signal filtering and processing, representation and results visualization. Flexible LabVIEW instruments can replace many specialized and expensive tools and detectors.
