VERTICAL GRADIENTS IN REGIONAL LUNG DENSITY AND PERFUSION IN THE SUPINE HUMAN LUNG: THE SLINKY(®) EFFECT

In-vivo radioactive tracer and microsphere studies have differing conclusions as to the magnitude of the gravitational effect on the distribution of pulmonary blood flow. We hypothesized that some of the apparent vertical perfusion gradient in-vivo is due to compression of dependent lung increasing...
