ABSTRACT:
A system and method for measuring a pulmonary performance value of a subject. In one embodiment, a system includes one or more imaging devices, each configured to capture one or more images of a subject inside an interior chamber, such as a plethysmograph chamber. An exemplary system also includes an imaging processor in communication with the one or more imaging devices for estimating a change in volume of the subject from information about the one or more images.
