The effects of certain lung pathologies include alterations in lung physiology negatively
affecting pulmonary compliance. Current approaches to diagnosis and treatment …

The lungs undergo expansion and contraction during the respiratory cycle. Since many
disease or injury conditions are associated with the biomechanical or material property …

The increase in prevalence, incidence and variety of pulmonary diseases has precipitated
the need for more non-invasive quantitative assessment of structure/function relationships in …

Image registration-based local displacement analysis enables evaluation of respiratory
motion between two computed tomography-captured lung volumes. The objective of this …

The lungs are highly elastic organs, composed of a variety of structures: vasculature,
airways and parenchyma. The unique mechanical properties of each of these structures …

Assessing the quality of motion estimation in the lung remains challenging. We approach the
problem by imaging isolated porcine lungs within an artificial thorax with four-dimensional …

Purpose: Lung function depends on lung expansion and contraction during the respiratory
cycle. Respiratory‐gated CT imaging and 3D image registration can be used to locally …

MOTIVATION: The lobes of the lungs slide relative to each other during breathing.
Quantifying lobar sliding can aid in better understanding lung function, better modeling of …

This paper presents an approach to predict the deformation of the lungs and surrounding
organs during respiration. The framework incorporates a computational model of the …

The pulmonary (or respiratory) system is responsible for gas exchange between the external
environment and the circulating blood supply in the body. The respiratory system contains a …
