Vibration Response Imaging (VRI) is novel technology which records breath sounds via pizo-electric sensors and produces a digital image using a computer algorithm. It is radiation free and is portable to the patient's bedside. Data exists to show that the recordings from normal individuals differs from those who have pulmonary pathology. There is also evidence that recordings have high levels of inter and intra-observer reliability. However, data on specific VRI patterns for specific pathology is still needed before this can be used as a diagnostic tool. We aim to perform an open label feasibility trial on inpatient and outpatient pulmonary patients. Bedside clinical examination and chest auscultation will be used as the reference gold standard. Other diagnostic modalities that have been used as part of the patient's usual standard of care will also be used for comparison. Specifically breath sound progression, the maximal sound energy shape/distribution and the presence of artifactual sounds will be used to search for patterns that may be used for diagnosis. Sensitivity and specificity will be calculated for each disease (eg. asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, effusion, pneumothorax, etc)

Arms | Assigned Interventions |
---|---|
1: Experimental
All patients recruited will have VRI recordings done. There is no comparative arm.
|
Device: Vibration Response Imaging
Recordings will be then performed using the VRI device (Deep Breeze™, Or Akiva, Israel). Forty-two sensors that are assembled on 2 planar arrays will be placed on subject's back. Each row of 3 sensors is held in place by silicone cups that are coupled to the patient's back by a computer-controlled low vacuum seal.
