Report summarizes biomedical engineering study findings from Boston University, Department of Biomedical Engineering
December 24th, 2006
A report, "An anatomically based hybrid computational model of the human lung and its application to low frequency oscillatory mechanics," is newly published data in Annals of Biomedical Engineering. "Lung input impedance measured via forced oscillation over low frequency range has been confirmed as sensitive to the degree and the heterogeneity of lung disease. In this study we advanced an image-based, multi-scale computational model for the human lung, which includes upper and central airways, small airways and alveoli tissue unit," researchers in the United States report. "A three-dimensional (3-D) realistic model of the upper airway (reconstructed from MRI images)...
