Auscultation is a method for diagnosis of especially internal medicine diseases such as cardiac,
pulmonary and cardio-pulmonary by listening the internal sounds from the body parts. It is the
simplest and the most common physical examination in the assessment processes of the clinical
skills. In this study, the lung and heart sounds are recorded synchronously from left and right
sides of posterior and anterior chest wall and back using two digital stethoscopes in Antakya
State Hospital. The chest X-rays and the pulmonary function test variables and spirometric
curves, the St. George respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ-C) are collected as multimedia and
clinical functional analysis variables of the patients. The 4 channels of heart sounds are focused
on aortic, pulmonary, tricuspid and mitral areas. The 12 channels of lung sounds are focused on
upper lung, middle lung, lower lung and costophrenic angle areas of posterior and anterior sides
of the chest. The recordings are validated and labelled by two pulmonologists evaluating the
collected chest x-ray, PFT and auscultation sounds of the subjects. The database consists of 30
healthy subjects and 45 subjects with pulmonary diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, bronchitis. The novelties of the database are the combination ability between
auscultation sound results, chest X-ray and PFT; synchronously assessment capability of the
lungs sounds; image processing based computerized analysis of the respiratory using chest X-ray
and providing opportunity for improving analysis of both lung sounds and heart sounds on
pulmonary and cardiac diseases.
