A photoplethysmogram (PPG) is an optically obtained plethysmogram that can be used to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. [1] [2] A PPG is often obtained by using a pulse oximeter which illuminates the skin and measures changes in light absorption. [3]
A man undergoing whole body plethysmography. A modern body plethysmograph using ultrasound. A plethysmograph is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains).
The signal separation also serves other purposes: a plethysmograph waveform ("pleth wave") representing the pulsatile signal is usually displayed for a visual indication of the pulses as well as signal quality, [4] and a numeric ratio between the pulsatile and baseline absorbance ("perfusion index") can be used to evaluate perfusion.

With air-displacement plethysmography, the volume of an object is measured indirectly by determining the volume of air it displaces inside an enclosed chamber (plethysmograph).
The nation’s debt ceiling was reinstated Thursday, giving congressional Republicans yet another divisive challenge to contend with in 2025. President-elect Donald Trump is demanding that GOP ...

Prince Andrew is at the center of more controversy.. The Duke of York, 64, who is King Charles' brother, reportedly had close business links with a Chinese national, who is alleged to be a spy ...
Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is a method of evaluating pulmonary ventilation by measuring the movement of the chest and abdominal wall. Accurate measurement of pulmonary ventilation or breathing often requires the use of devices such as masks or mouthpieces coupled to the airway opening.
