Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Recognition of disease specific clusters of volatile organic compounds in patients with different lung diseases, using breath analysis with ion mobility spectrometry. Lung diseases of interest are: * COPD * tumors * airway infection * interstitial lung disease * sleep apnea Hypothesis: Breath analysis with ion mobility spectrometry can differentiate pulmonary disorders.
