Method for Live Production of Synthetic Lung Sounds in an Online Auscultation Simulator
Abstract
We are researching the development of an advanced auscultation simulator [1] that will provide for a dynamic examination with varying acoustic output based upon listening location [2], respiratory effort and phase. The simulator will be delivered online through web browsers and support a novel pedagogical approach [3]. Most extant lung sound samples are recorded at a single location and are rife with noise contamination [4], making them unsuitable. Thus, we employ synthetic lung and breath sounds with a clean acoustic profile so that numerous sounds can be mixed without degradation.
