Abstract

In this paper we discuss the design of an acoustic phantom, instrumented with acoustic sensors that is employed to validate computational hemoacoustic models (CHM) and develop/test generative (model based) statistical pattern recognition algorithms for abnormal heart conditions. The phantom of the human thorax incorporates key elements of the physical heart/thorax system.
