With fabrication technology reaching nanolevels, systems are becoming more prone to
manufacturing defects with higher susceptibility to soft errors. This paper is focused on …

Pulmonary x‐ray computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
research and development has been motivated, in part, by the quest to subphenotype …

Rationale: Endothelial dysfunction is of interest in relation to smoking-associated
emphysema, a component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We previously …

Background Currently, there is limited knowledge regarding which imaging assessments of
asthma are associated with accelerated longitudinal decline in lung function. Objectives We …

It is largely acknowledged that inhaled particles ranging from 0.001 to 10 μm are able to
reach and deposit in the alveolated regions of the lungs. To date, however, the bulk of …

Understanding regional deformation in the lung has long attracted the medical community,
as parenchymal deformation plays a key role in respiratory physiology. Recent advances in …

This study aims to assess regional ventilation, nonlinearity, and hysteresis of human lungs
during dynamic breathing via image registration of four-dimensional computed tomography …

The lungs are among the most deformable body organs, a mechanical feature that is key to
the vital process of breathing. Current micromechanical constitutive models of the lung …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) thermo-fluid model is developed to study regional
distributions of temperature and water vapor in three multi-detector row computed …

Background Traditional metrics of lung disease such as those derived from spirometry and
static single-volume CT images are used to explain respiratory morbidity in patients with …
