No official clinical reference values have been established for MostGraph, which measures total respiratory resistance and reactance using the forced oscillation technique, complicating result interpretation. This study aimed to establish a reference...
BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the collaborative potential between artificial intelligence (AI) and pulmonologists for diagnosing pulmonary disease. We hypothesised that the collaboration between a pulmonologist and AI with explanations (e...
PURPOSE: Using ultra-high-resolution images reconstructed with the Advanced intelligent Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE) lung to measure wall area percentage (WA%), we demonstrated that WA% measured in more distal bronchus has a stronger correlation with respi...
Background Preexisting indexes for predicting the prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) do not use radiologic information and are impractical because they involve complex history assessments or exercise tests. Purpose To develop a...
BACKGROUND: Spirometry quality assurance is a challenging task across levels of healthcare tiers, especially in primary care. Deep learning may serve as a support tool for enhancing spirometry quality. We aimed to develop a high accuracy and sensitiv...
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a mean to evaluate cardiac effects of autonomic nervous system activity, and a relation between HRV and outcome has been proposed in various types of patients. We attempted to evaluate the best determinants of such var...
BACKGROUND: The forced oscillation technique (FOT) allows non-invasive lung function testing during quiet breathing even without expert guidance. However, it still relies on an operator for excluding breaths with artefacts such as swallowing, glottis...
Heterogeneous clinical manifestations and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affect patient health risk assessment, stratification, and management. Pulmonary function tests are used to diagnose and classify the severity of CO...
