To quantify the in vivo magnitude and distribution of regional compensatory lung growth
following extensive lung resection, we performed high-resolution computed tomography at …

In adult canines following major lung resection, the remaining lobes expand asymmetrically,
associated with alveolar tissue regrowth, remodeling, and progressive functional …

Major lung resection is a robust model that mimics the consequences of loss-of-functioning
lung units. We previously observed in adult canines, following 42% and 58% lung resection …

After pneumonectomy (PNX), mechanical strain on the remaining lung is greatly increased.
To assess whether remaining lobes expand uniformly after left or right PNX (removing 42 …

Compensatory lung growth is defined by the absolute increases in the quantity of functioning
lung tissue in response to injury and/or disease, leading to a positive impact on functional …

A computer-based biplane videoroentgenographic recording technique that determines the
spatial coordinates of radiopaque lung parenchymal markers was used to compare regional …

Mechanical forces imposed on lung tissue constitute major stimuli for normal lung
development and postpneumonectomy (PNX) compensatory growth and remodeling …

We previously found that, following surgical resection of∼ 58% of lung units by right
pneumonectomy (PNX) in adult canines, oxygen-diffusing capacity (DlO2) fell sufficiently to …

The Dynamic Spatial Reconstructor (DSR) was used to study in vivo lung geometry and
function. By replacing the lungs of three dogs with potato flakes and ping-pong balls of …

The volume and severity of pulmonary emphysema in individual lungs were measured by
means of quantitative computed tomography (CT) studies in 28 patients (14 women, 14 men …
