"And the babe leaps up on his mother's arm I hear, I hear, with joy I hear." Wordsworth. All students find initial difficulty with auscultation and to some, variations in heart sounds and murmurs remain a mystery. However, given normal hearing, a good stethoscope, an appreciation of underlying mechanisms and reasonable opportunity to practise ...

Automated Heart and Lung Auscultation in Robotic Physical Examinations [PDF]
This paper presents the first implementation of autonomous robotic auscultation of heart and lung sounds. To select auscultation locations that generate high-quality sounds, a Bayesian Optimization (BO) formulation leverages visual anatomical cues to predict where high-quality sounds might be located, while using auditory feedback to adapt to patient ...

Classification of the Heart Auscultation Signals
Listening to the internal body sounds (auscultation) is one of the oldest techniques in medicine to diagnose heart and lung diseases. The digital heart auscultation signals are obtained with digital electronic stethoscope and can be processed automatically to obtain some coarse indications about the heart or lung condition.
