Modelling of Diffusing Capacity Measurement Results in Lung Microangiopathy Patients. A novel Diagnostic Suppport
Abstract
Lung microangiopathy is a little known negative influence of diabetes mellitus on the functioning of the lungs. The aim of this study is to design a supportive method for diagnosing lung microangiopathy. This will be based on routinely performed pulmonary measurements as well as on investigation process modelling and data processing. A model of the diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood has been described with a set of differential equations. The model parameters are estimated using diffusing capacity and alveolar volume measurements - routinely performed in pulmonary tests. The proposed classification procedure, based on parameter values and established diagnostic thresholds, gives good sensitivity and specificity.
