Summary

This study tests a non-invasive imaging method called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to see if it can monitor lung function as well as standard breathing tests (spirometry). Researchers will compare EIT results with spirometry in 400 adults, including those with lung diseases like COPD, asthma, and pneumonia, as well as healthy volunteers. The goal is to develop a machine learning model that predicts spirometry values from EIT, which could help patients who cannot perform standard breathing tests, such as those with a tracheostomy.
