Stochastic Modeling of Particle Deposition in Lungs of Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Figure 2
Stochastic modeling of cystic fibrosis: (a) Decrease of the airway calibers due to chronic obstructions is simulated by the application of (1) constant scaling factors (D(o)/D = constant) and (2) random scaling factors (D(o)/D <> constant); (b) Emphysema is modeled by a constant increase of the alveolar radius (r).
