[A new mathematical method for the radiological determination of total lung capacity].
Various radiological methods for estimating lung volume depend on anatomical correlation with the volume of the thorax. It is not possible to derive general factors for correcting these methods and the accuracy and reliability can be improved only by introducing individual corrections. It must also be remembered that radiometric calculations of gas volume and lung capacity depend on the assumption that there is a fixed relationship between these. This, however, is untrue for a whole series of patho-physiological circumstances. Because of these problems, we describe our own radiometric method.
