Evaluation of 3D Magnetic Resonance Spirometry: Comparison with Spirometry in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Respiratory Pathologies (asthma, COPD, Bilateral Lung Transplant)
Spirometry is now the gold standard technique for assessing lung function in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume curve measured while the patient, trained by the practitioner, performs forced breaths, the forced vital…

Prematurity
Repeatability and Feasibility of Infant Spirometry
This is a study examining repeatability and feasibility of a new method for measurement of lung function in babies. A flexible vest is placed around the torso of the baby, and changes in tidal volume and flow is measured.

Healthy
Forced Inspiratory Flow Volume Curve in Healthy Young Children
Spirometry testing should include both expiratory and inspiratory measurements as it may influence the expiratory flow volume curve indices. The ability to inhale medication may by judged by inspiratory flows.
