Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how gravity affects lung function by comparing lung images from CT scans of 100 healthy participants in supine (lying down) and standing positions.
- Findings showed that in the supine position, lung attenuation gradients were significantly higher in the upper and lower lobes compared to when standing, whereas standing had greater craniocaudal gradients.
- No significant correlations were found between lung gradients and participant characteristics like age, sex, or pulmonary function test results.
