Comparison of lung volumes measured with computed tomography and whole-body plethysmography – a systematic review [PDF]
European Clinical Respiratory JournalIntroduction 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]
Frontiers in Physiology, 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

Evaluation of barometric whole-body plethysmography for therapy monitoring in cats with feline lower airway disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 ObjectivesFeline lower airway disease (FLAD) is a common respiratory condition in cats. Traditionally, response to therapy is monitored only by evaluation of clinical signs and radiographic examination of the lungs. Barometric whole-body plethysmography (
