Medical Applications of Computer Modelling: The Respiratory System, v. 2, Respiratory System [Kõva köide]

Edited by
Presents applications of computer modeling and fluid dynamics to the respiratory system, particularly the delivery of inhaled aerosol drugs. The 12 chapters describe the morphology of the respiratory system, and the airborne progression of an inhaled therapeutic aerosol. Some of the topics are computational fluid dynamics of the extrathoracic airway, stochastic modeling of particle deposition in the human lung, the design of aerosol systems for delivery to the lungs using numerical methods, and measuring the deposition patterns of an inhaled agent with SPECT imaging.

..".well written...The opinion of this reviewer is that the reader is provided with a good introduction to some simple mathematical models of the respiratory system and some simple techniques that are used to solve the resulting equations."
