Bodyplethysmography is a very accurate and comprehensive lung measurement. It is used to detect complex or mixed pathologies that cannot be diagnosed by conventional measurement methods. Bodyplethysmography determines the total lung volume, including residual volume. In addition, it is possible to determine airway resistance, making the diagnosis of specific dysfunctions quick and easy.

The current GANSHORN bodyplethysmograph PowerCubeBody+ is the result of decades of experience in building bodyplethysmographs using the latest technologies. The long-term stability of our ultrasonic flowmeter in conjunction with special evaluation algorithms allows the resistance loops to be corrected individually, breath by breath with the current ambient conditions. This allows an initial differentiation between asthma or COPD just by looking at the shape of the curve. Simple systems that automatically close the resistance loops usually do not succeed in this.
