These systems are innovative examination instruments, non-invasive, accurate, easy to use and unlike traditional plethysmographic technologies, are not affected by humidity and temperature variations and can easily be used to perform measurements for extended periods of time. They accurately measure the dynamics of the volume variations that occur during breathing in the various sections of the thoracic-abdominal walls (upper, lower and abdominal thoracic area). This data, which is otherwise undetectable, is a useful contribution to the evaluation of patients. We will apply chest wall motion analysis to understanding the physiology of thoracic disease processes as well as assessing potential diagnostic and prognostic (response to treatment) markers that could be used in future clinical practice.
