  3. Abstract:
  4. During recording lung sounds over the chest, heart sounds (HS) are also recorded and interferes with the inteipretation of lung sounds especially at low frequencies. Hence, several methods have been proposed to remove or reduce HS from lung sounds. The first step in most of the methods developed for HS reduction is to localize the segments of lung sounds including HS. In this study a method based on multi-resolution product of lung sounds wavelet coefficients was implemented for HS localization and its performance was compared to that of three methods developed for HS localization. The methods were tested on data from 6 healthy subjects recorded at low (7.5ml/s/kg) and medium (15ml/s/kg) flow rates. It was found that the multi-resolution product of lung sounds wavelet coefficients was superior to the other methods with the average error of 1.4 ± 1.1% and 3.4 ± 2.2% at low and medium flow rates, respectively
