A computer reads out a converted measurement of a sound taken by the microphone and places the data on the computer data bus for further processing. The method and system provide a diagnostic information on diseases, such as certain diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract and the heart, which generate abnormal body sounds and provide assessment of patient progress during treatment of such disease entities. | InventorApplicationNo. 708748 filed on 05/31/1991US Classes:600/586, Detecting sound generated within body600/528Detecting heart soundExaminersPrimary: Hindenburg, MaxAttorney, Agent or FirmUS Patent References4792145, Electronic stethoscope system and methodIssued on: 12/20/1988 Inventor: Eisenberg , et al.4928705, Acoustic aneurysm detector and associated method Issued on: 05/29/1990 Inventor: Sekhar, et al.4991581, Acoustic processing apparatus Issued on: 02/12/1991 Inventor: Andries5010889, Intelligent stethoscope Issued on: 04/30/1991 Inventor: Bredesen, et al.5035247Sensor for non-invasive measurement of sound, pressure and vibration on the human body Issued on: 07/30/1991 Inventor: Heimann International ClassA61B 007/00 |
