Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
Recruitment of patients with different lung diseases goes on. First sub-group analysis of patients with COPD,lung cancer and sarcoidosis is done in order to create a training set of VOC-clusters for further validation in a bigger population of patients.
