Effect of intersubject variability of extrathoracic morphometry, lung airways dimensions and respiratory parameters on particle deposition
Journal of Thoracic Disease,
Hussain M et al.– The present study attempts to quantify experimentally observed intersubject variability of regional deposition fractions caused by individual variations of nasal and oral geometry, lung airway dimensions and breathing patterns in healthy lungs, serving as a baseline for subsequent calculations for diseased lungs, e.g. asthma, COPD, and emphysema, which may further increase intersubject variabilities of medically relevant depositions.
