Breathing Abnormality Detection


Detecting Breathing Abnormalities During Radiation Treatment

MovieMovie


This module uses LASER rangefinder data to detect abnormalities in patients' breathing patterns in real-time. It detects coughing and hyperventilation, which are characterized by sudden transitions and speeding up of breathing frequency, respectively. Classification of breathing patterns is based on frequency characteristics of the abdominal movement. (3.3MB)
