    A new lobar notational system uniquely identifies airway locations in mammalian lungs. This standardized method aids in data reduction and analysis for morphometric and deposition studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary anatomy and morphometry
    • Bioengineering and biomechanics

    Background:

    • Accurate identification of airway structures is crucial for lung research.
    • Existing methods lack standardization for detailed morphometric and deposition data analysis.
    • Mammalian lung airways exhibit complex branching patterns requiring a systematic approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel lobar notational system for mammalian lung airways.
    • To enable unique identification of airway locations for data analysis.
    • To facilitate efficient data reduction and management in lung research.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a two-character lobe code.
    • Inclusion of a character for branching structure (monopodial or symmetric).
    • Designation of digits for relative position within the lobe and branching hierarchy.

    Main Results:

    • A comprehensive notational system for mammalian lung airways is established.
    • The system uniquely identifies airway locations, including terminal bronchioles.
    • It supports data organization for morphometric and deposition studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The lobar notational system provides a standardized framework for lung airway identification.
    • This system enhances the efficiency and accuracy of analyzing lung morphometric and deposition data.
    • It is applicable to various lung structures, including monopodial branching patterns.
