New advances in computer processing and imaging have allowed the development of innovative techniques to assess lung function. A promising methodology is optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP). OEP evaluates ventilatory kinematics through the use of infrared imaging. Markers are placed, and images read on the chest, back and abdomen of subjects. Currently, this system is used mainly in research settings, but in the future may have broad applicability to patient populations such as very young children, patients with neuromuscular disease and patients who cannot be tested with classical spirometry testing. This paper presents the history and development of OEP, along with a summary of the OEP methodology, a discussion of research findings and results to date, as well as application and limitations.
计算机处理和成像技术的新进展使得评估肺功能的创新技术得以发展。一种很有前景的方法是光电体积描记法（OEP）。OEP通过使用红外成像来评估通气运动学。在受试者的胸部、背部和腹部放置标记物并读取图像。目前，该系统主要用于研究环境，但未来可能广泛适用于患者群体，如幼儿、患有神经肌肉疾病的患者以及无法通过传统肺活量测定法进行检测的患者。本文介绍了OEP的历史和发展，以及OEP方法的概述、对迄今为止研究结果的讨论，以及应用和局限性。
