Ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography [PDF]
, 2012 Objective: The distribution of ventilation within the lung is inhomogeneous. We hypothesized that the degree of inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) differs from that in healthy subjects.
