Quantitative Assessment of the Airway Response to Bronchial Tests Based on a Spirometric Curve Shift

Conclusion: An unprecedented method to plausibly transforming the spirometry data into the site and degree of changes in airway properties has been proposed. Significance: The- method can be used to deduce about the effects of bronchial tests, as well as to monitor changes in the airways between visits or to investigate how inhaled pharmaceuticals affect the bronchi.
