Estimation of the volume of lung below the left atrium using computed tomography

Gravity has significant effects on the microvascular pressure in the lungs and thus on regional fluid filtration in the lungs. Below the level of the heart, gravity increases the microvascular pressure with respect to the left atrial pressure; above the level of the heart, microvascular pressure is...
