Figure 1

Correlation of expiratory multi-slice CT lung volumes with respiratory mechanics and gas exchange parameters. CRS, static compliance of respiratory system; PaO2, arterial partial oxygen pressure; Pmcd, pressure of maximum compliance decrease on inflation curve; QVA/QT, venous admixture; VNON, nonaerated lung volume; VPOOR, poorly aerated lung volume.
