Relative Distribution of Particles Retained in the Lung Slice (ROIdep) at Different Times (0 Hour, 1 Hour 30 Minutes, and 22 Hours) and Regional Fraction of Ventilation in the Same Lung Slice
| Deposition (%) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| t = 0 h | t = 1 h 30 min | t = 22 h | Ventilation (%) | |
| Apical | 12.8 ± 1.6 | 13.0 ± 3.7 | 10.1 ± 4.2 | 11.4 ± 3.5 |
| Mid-apical | 23.4 ± 2.2 | 24.0 ± 2.4 | 22.2 ± 6.9 | 22.4 ± 4.6 |
| Mid-diaphragm | 30.0 ± 1.6 | 29.9 ± 1.8 | 31.7 ± 5.3 | 28.7 ± 1.2 |
| Diaphragmatic | 33.9 ± 3.7 | 33.1 ± 5.1 | 36.0 ± 7.7 | 37.5 ± 7.8 |
Data are averaged over seven subjects (mean ± SD).
