cardiac sounds, pulmonary sounds, modulation filters, wavelet filters, auscultationAbstract
Auscultation is a medical procedure that provides a general idea of heart and lung behavior as the physician listens to the breath sound. Due to the fact that the sounds from these organs overlap in time and frequency domains, important affections in one of them could be discarded. For instance, the objective of this work is to implement two different methods of cardiac and pulmonary sound separation. First, we apply modulation filters to the timefrequency representation of the original signal, recorded on the chest. Second, we apply an iterative algorithm of wavelet decomposition and reconstruction filters. Results show that they both separate signals appropriately. Taking lung signals as noise, we determine that signal to noise (SNR) ratio is 10.21 for the first method and for 6.61 the second. Applications in telemedicine are encourager since the bandwidth of the signal transmission could be reduced by sending it separately.
