Comparison of lung volumes measured with computed tomography and whole-body plethysmography - a systematic review. [PDF]
Eur Clin Respir JIntroduction Whole-body plethysmography is the preferred method for measuring the static lung volumes: total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity (FRC) and residual volume (RV), as it also incorporates trapped gas – a common finding in ...

Automated Classification of Whole Body Plethysmography Waveforms to Quantify Breathing Patterns. [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2021 Whole body plethysmography (WBP) monitors respiratory rate and depth but conventional analysis fails to capture the diversity of waveforms. Our first purpose was to develop a waveform cluster analysis method for quantifying dynamic changes in respiratory
