In this paper a model based approach is adopted to estimate the thoracic volume. A cylindrical model is developed and standard relations of cylinder are used for the volumetric computations. Six normal male subjects are registered for the analysis and validation of the cylindrical model. Anthropometric dimensions and thoracic impedances are measured as input parameters. Appreciable rhythmic variations of thoracic impedances with computed thoracic volumes are observed for all the registered subjects. The observation can be utilized for monitoring and diagnosis of various respiratory and pulmonary disorders

Abstract
In this paper a model based approach is adopted to estimate the thoracic volume. A cylindrical model is developed and standard relations of cylinder are used for the volumetric computations. Six normal male subjects are registered for the analysis and validation of the cylindrical model. Anthropometric dimensions and thoracic impedances are measured as input parameters. Appreciable rhythmic variations of thoracic impedances with computed thoracic volumes are observed for all the registered subjects. The observation can be utilized for monitoring and diagnosis of various respiratory and pulmonary disordersI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
