EXAMPLE SENTENCES

During chest auscultation the physician detected distinct aegophony indicating fluid accumulation in the lung cavity. The presence of aegophony confirmed the clinical diagnosis of severe pneumonia in the hospitalized patient. Medical students learned to identify aegophony by listening to lung sounds in patients with pleural effusion. Aegophony occurs when high frequency vocal sounds resonate altered through compressed lung tissue. Detecting aegophony prompts doctors to order diagnostic chest X-rays to assess pulmonary health.
