Summary

This study is aiming at evaluating whether low frequency ultrasound spectroscopy is a sensitive tool to detect broncholytic effects in patients with obstructive airway diseases.

Conditions

• Healthy Volunteers
• COPD GOLD I to IV
• Asthma GINA 1 to 4

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Low frequency ultrasound spectroscopy after broncholysis	Low frequency ultrasound spectroscopy is a novel non-invasive approach to real-time diagnostics of the lungs. Low frequency ultrasound at 10 to 1000 kHz permits monitoring of the air and water contents of the human thorax.
