    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Physiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Mathematical Modeling

    Background:

    • Quantitative regional ventilation measurement is crucial for understanding lung function.
    • Previous models simplified breathing dynamics, limiting accuracy.
    • Radioactive tracer studies offer insights into regional lung parameters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a mathematical lung ventilation model accounting for breathing periodicity.
    • To precisely define and simplify the determination of effective specific ventilation.
    • To enable accurate lung ventilation and volume parameter determination using radioisotope dynamic studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a mathematical model incorporating breathing periodicity.
    • Defined effective specific ventilation based on tidal volume (TV) and functional residual capacity (FRC).
    • Reduced regional effective specific ventilation determination to a linear fitting method.

    Main Results:

    • The model accurately accounts for breathing periodicity in radioactive tracer studies.
    • Effective specific ventilation is precisely defined and linked to the TV/FRC ratio.
    • Experimental verification on healthy subjects showed agreement with literature values.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed mathematical model provides accurate regional lung ventilation quantification.
    • The model simplifies measurements and is validated experimentally.
    • Results for TV/FRC align with traditional spirometry, enhancing model credibility.
