Abstract :
To analyze lung sound by auscultation method requires substantial clinical experience, a fine stethoscope and good listening skills. The lung itself cannot generate sound if there is no airflow; pressure differences between structures within the thorax. The type of lung sound can be known by listening to the lung sound. The timing, repeatability and shape of crackles are important parameter for diagnosis. In this paper, we aim to detect and classify crackle to find deformities in lungs.
