Modeling Airflow Using Subject-Specific 4DCT-Based Deformable Volumetric Lung Models

Modeling Airflow Using Subject-Specific 4DCT-Based Deformable Volumetric Lung Models

Lung radiotherapy is greatly benefitted when the tumor motion caused by breathing can be modeled. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of using anisotropic and subject-specific tissue elasticity for simulating the airflow inside the lungs. A computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) based app...
