Auscultation has been an essential means for the diagnosis and evaluation of respiratory disorders since the stethoscope was invented by Laënnec in 1816.Computerized respiratory sound analysis(CRSA)has been developed with the advances of sensing chips and artificial intelligence in recent years,which can record,store and quantitatively analyze respiratory sound to accurately diagnose lung diseases by artificial intelligence algorithm.In this review,we summarize the challenges of traditional auscultation in clinical practice,the research progress of CRSA and its application in physical examination and diagnosis of respiratory diseases.
