ABSTRACT:
A method and device are provided for measuring state of lung function of a patient using ultrasonic flow and molar mass measurement. Flow and molar mass signals are recorded during tidal breathing without requiring patient cooperation. Statistical analysis of the recorded data in combination with anthropometirc data and/or data form a questionnaire can be used to diagnose various pulmonary ailments or diseases.
