title: [Diagnostic role of lungs electric probing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Basing on the data of spot electric probing (SEP), to derive principles underlying changes in conduction characteristics of pulmonary tissue in various diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Dynamic SEP of the lungs was made with 4 electrodes in 72 patients with pulmonary diseases. Two parameters were considered: resistivity and frequency variability of resistivity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  SEP was effective in detection of lung tissue airiness and thickening, accumulation of pleural fluid. The use of a novel parameter--frequency variability of resistivity--raises diagnostic potential of electric probing.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SEP is an informative method in diagnosis of respiratory diseases. Thus, it holds promise for clinical practice.
