[Optoelectronic plethysmography -- a new technic to measure changes of chest wall volume].
Optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) is a new, noninvasive diagnostic tool that allows to measure changes of chest wall volume and its three compartments. Mathematical basis of the method, elements of the system and possibilities of combining OEP with other recording techniques used in pneumonology were discussed in details. OEP applications, results of the latest investigations and development perspectives were briefly presented.
