Abstract
In this paper, the authors prove that variations in thoracic volumes are greatly responsive to the act of breathing (i.e., inspiration and expiration). These variations may be adopted for diagnosing various respiration related diseases and pulmonary edema. In this study, the authors present a method to estimate the thoracic volume non-invasively using anthropometric dimensions. The change in the geometry of thorax with the act of breathe is recorded by measuring the anthropometric parameters for nine healthy human subjects. The model based approach shows the extent of its sensitivity in terms of volumetric variations with the state of inspiration and expiration. Many deaths occur due to unavailability of health care and monitoring systems in rural areas and developing countries. The technique presented in this paper takes care of these situations and the volumetric estimation of thorax is independent of any instrumentation, expensive equipment, and clinical environment.
