Evaluation of spirometry-gated computed tomography to measure lung volumes in emphysema patients [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2022 Introduction In emphysema patient being evaluated for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), accurate measurement of lung volumes is important. Total lung capacity (TLC) and residual volume (RV) are commonly measured by body plethysmography but can ...

Lung Volume Calculation in Preclinical MicroCT: A Fast Geometrical Approach
Journal of Imaging, 2022 In this study, we present a time-efficient protocol for thoracic volume calculation as a proxy for total lung volume. We hypothesize that lung volume can be calculated indirectly from this thoracic volume.
