Advances in Technique in Lung Function Measurement and Monitoring

Participating journal: Discover Respiratory Physiology

This collection will focus on the advances in technology in lung function measurement and monitoring. While spirometry has been the gold standard for lung function measurement and monitoring, it also has its intrinsic problems such as being effort dependent and lack spatial resolution. In the recent years, there have been advances in lung function measurement and monitoring which can potentially overcome the problems related to spirometry. Also, these technologies have the advantages in providing clinical information that is currently lacking from spirometry. At the same time, spirometry interpretation is another hot topic in recent years. How to interpret spirometry results and what are the pitfalls continues to be the area of debate. In this collection, we welcome any innovative articles related to lung function tests, especially on novel technology.

Keywords: Lung function, Spirometry, Technology, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Electrical Impedance Tomography
