Mesh-quality statistics for the prismatic layers and interior tetrahedra of the rat lung mesh generated using our proposed method. Panel A shows the angles for each surface layer, starting with the original surface mesh (60° is ideal). Panel B shows the edge distortion of each prismatic layers (0° is ideal). Panel C shows the scaled aspect ratio of prisms for each prismatic layers (1.0 is ideal, and a negative value would indicate an inverted prism). Finally, panel D shows the aspect ratios for tetrahedral elements (1 is ideal)
