Quantification of the thorax-to-abdomen breathing ratio for breathing motion modeling.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a methodology to quantitatively measure the thorax-to-abdomen breathing ratio from a 4DCT dataset for breathing motion modeling and breathing motion studies. METHODS The thorax-to-abdomen breathing ratio was quantified by measuring the rate of cross-sectional volume increase throughout the thorax and abdomen as a function of tidal volume. Twent...
متن کاملThe Effect of Breathing Exercises on Breathing Pattern of Pregnant Women
Purpose: Physiological changes during pregnancy impose numerous changes on the respiratory system that can affect the health of both mother and fetus. Regarding the importance of the normal breathing in the health of mother and fetus, this study aimed to investigate the effect of breathing exercise on breathing pattern of pregnant women. Methods: The study population was pregnant women...
متن کاملAssessment of Motion patterns in free breathing MRI of the abdomen using continuously tagged imaging
Introduction The entire abdomen is subject to complex motion patterns [1,2], comprising of breathing, heart and peristaltic motion. Insight into the contribution of each source is important to motility research and motion correction. This study proposes the use of continuously tagged imaging for motion assessment during free breathing, non-triggered, non-gated, dynamic MRI of the entire abdomen...
متن کاملFree-breathing dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen
Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is complicated by tissue motion as well as by weak tissue contrast. The major source of motion is respiration, which can be dealt with by breath-hold imaging or by respiratory triggering. Nevertheless, these commonly used methods are known to have their limitations in terms of patient burden as well as in image quality. We propose a method that allows ...
متن کاملValidation of Shell Theory for Modeling the Radial Breathing Mode of a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, the radial breathing mode (RBM) frequency of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is studied based on the thin shell theory. For this purpose, SWCNT is considered as an elastic thin cylindrical shell. The dynamic equation of RBM is derived using the Hamilton’s principle. An analytical solution of the RBM frequency of SWCNT is obtained. The advantage of this formulation is that i...
