Description

The research project aims to develop and implement methods for the quantitative analysis of lung micro-CT images, with the goal of characterizing pulmonary disease in murine models both structurally and functionally. Specifically, longitudinal micro-CT images, reconstructed at different lung volumes, will be analyzed to extract quantitative parameters of parenchymal and functional changes. The data will also be combined with ex vivo information at higher spatial resolution, obtained through advanced imaging techniques. This dataset will be used for an integrated quantitative analysis of structural and functional alterations in lung tissue. The results will be evaluated to examine parenchymal and functional changes across different models of pulmonary disease, including comparisons with ex vivo data, to support studies of disease mechanisms and translational research.
