Used by 96% of medical faculties in Japan, LSAT is now renewed and improved! In just a few taps away, improve lung assessment skills by combining theory and practice with real lung sound recordings and case information.
Features
Based on acoustic analysis of recorded lungs sounds, each are classified according the American Thoracic Society standards. With this approach, lung sounds are categorized as continuous (wheezes, rhonchi, or stridor) or discontinuous (crackles). Crackles are further identified as fine or coarse.
