We provide a selective review of recent progress in the analysis of several physiological and
physiologically inspired fluid-structure interaction problems, our aim being to explain the …

Synchrotron radiation (SR) is increasingly being used for micro-level and nano-level
functional imaging in in vivo animal experiments. This review focuses on the methodology …

Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to visualize the cross-section of a sample with
non-destructive techniques in clinical and industrial applications, and the attenuation …

Current commercial micro-CT scanners have the capability of imaging objects ex vivo with
high spatial resolution, but performing in vivo micro-CT on free-breathing small animals is …

Lungs represent the essential part of the mammalian respiratory system, which is reflected in
the fact that lung failure still is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality …

A basic prerequisite for in vivo X-ray imaging of the lung is the exact determination of
radiation dose. Achieving resolutions of the order of micrometres may become particularly …

It is self‐evident that our chests expand and contract during breathing but, surprisingly,
exactly how individual alveoli change shape over the respiratory cycle is still a matter of …

Purpose: Carbon nanotube (CNT) based field emission x‐ray source technology has
recently been investigated for diagnostic imaging applications because of its attractive …

We visualized pulmonary acini in the core regions of the mouse lung in situ using
synchrotron refraction-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and evaluated their kinematics …

The magnitude and distribution of strain imposed on the peripheral airspaces by mechanical
ventilation at the microscopic level and the consequent deformations are unknown despite …
