An alternative way to measure total lung capacity: a pilot study
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2020 Total lung capacity is usually measured by a body plethysmograph or helium dilution methods. In this study an alternative approach to obtain total lung capacity of spontaneous breathing subjects is introduced.

Effect of total lung capacity and gender on CT densitometry indexes. [PDF]
Br J Radiol, 2016 Testing the hypothesis that CT densitometry indexes could be influenced by total lung capacity (TLC), gender and height in normal individuals.In this ethics committee-approved prospective study, 100 healthy non-smoking volunteers who provided written informed consent were included.

Size matching in lung transplantation using predicted total lung capacity [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2002 Height is used in allocation of donor lungs as an indirect estimate of thoracic size. Total lung capacity (TLC), determined by both height and sex, could be a more accurate functional estimation of thoracic size. Size-matching criteria based on heightversuspredicted TLC was retrospectively evaluated, and, furthermore, whether a TLC mismatch was related

Total lung capacity without plethysmography [PDF]
, 2018 ABSTRACT Background Among the most basic measures of respiratory function is the total lung capacity (TLC). TLC is the pulmonary gas volume at maximal lung inflation, which is the sum of the volume of gas that can be exhaled –the vital capacity (VC)– and the volume of gas that cannot –the residual ...

Radiographic determination of total lung capacity in patients with acromegaly [PDF]
British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1987 Total lung capacity (TLC) was measured from posteroanterior and lateral chest radiographs by the ellipsoid (TLCE) and planimetric (TLCp) radiographic methods in 16 acromegalic patients. These measurements were compared to the TLC measured by body plethysmography (TLCBP) in order to investigate the accuracy of the two radiographic methods.

In patients with unilateral pleural effusion, restricted lung inflation is the principal predictor of increased dyspnoea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:The mechanism of dyspnoea associated with pleural effusion is uncertain. A cohort of patients requiring thoracoscopy for unilateral exudative effusion were investigated for associations between dyspnoea and suggested predictors ...

Respiratory Research, 2022 Background Pulmonary involvement in individuals with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is unclear. The aim of this study was to quantify 99mTc-hydroxy methylene diphosphonate (HMDP) lung retention in hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) cardiac amyloidosis ...

Radiographic Determination of Total Lung Capacity in Patients with Pneumonectomy
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1997 To determine whether total lung capacity (TLC) can be measured from plain chest radiographs in patients with pneumonectomy, we examined 20 such patients (17 male, 3 female) who had pneumonectomy for lung carcinoma. In 16 patients the right lung was preserved, and in 4 the left.
