Dielectropneumography

Dielectric pneumography (DEPG) is a method of studying the lungs based on recording the electrical potentials that arise during breathing. This method was developed at the beginning of the 20th century and has since been actively used in medicine to diagnose various lung diseases.

The operating principle of DEPG is based on measuring electrical signals that occur in lung tissue when air pressure in the lungs changes. When air enters or leaves the lungs, it creates electrical potentials that are recorded by special sensors. These signals can be used to determine lung volume, breathing rate and other parameters.

DEPG is a non-invasive test, which makes it especially attractive for patients who are unable to undergo other diagnostic methods. In addition, DEPG provides real-time information about the condition of the lungs, which can be useful for monitoring the disease and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.

However, like any other research method, DEPG has its limitations. For example, it does not provide information about the structure of the lungs, and cannot be used to diagnose certain diseases. In addition, to obtain accurate results, it is necessary to properly configure the sensors and calibrate the system.

Despite these limitations, DEPG continues to be one of the most effective methods for studying the lungs and is widely used in medical practice. It provides important information about lung health and helps doctors make more informed decisions when treating patients.
