Respiratory sound classification for crackles, wheezes, and rhonchi in the clinical field using deep learning

Abstract Auscultation has been essential part of the physical examination; this is non-invasive, real-time, and very informative. Detection of abnormal respiratory sounds with a stethoscope is important in diagnosing respiratory diseases and providing first aid. However, accurate interpretation of r...

Our deep learning-based classification would be able to complement the inaccuracies of clinicians' auscultation, and it may aid in the rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment of respiratory diseases.Yoonjoo KimYunKyong HyonSung Soo JungSunju LeeGeon YooChaeuk ChungTaeyoung HaNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-11 (2021)
