Abstract

Abstract: The mechanics of breathing is a fascinating and vital process. The lung has complexities andsubtle heterogeneities in structure across length scales that influence mechanics and function. Thisstudy establishes an experimental pipeline for capturing alveolar deformations during a respirator...
