Figure 3. Retention curves (mean +/- 95%-ci) of healthy subjects, patients with mild CF, and patients with moderate to severe CF calculated with the help of the advanced mucociliary clearance model introduced in this contribution. A: mucociliary clearance of particles with a diameter of 0.1 µm; B: mucociliary clearance of 1-µm particles; C. mucociliary clearance of 10-µm particles.
