The detailed mechanics of breathing are not well understood, due to a lack of regional lung measurement techniques. This project aims to develop a powerful analysis tool to image in vivo mechanical properties of the lungs. The expected outcome of this project is a novel platform for investigation and understanding of lung function, enabling information previously only available for the whole lung to be calculated for local lung regions within the body. The image analysis methods developed are intended to enable respiratory researchers to investigate lung function in unprecedented detail, leading to new insights into the workings of this complicated and vital organ.

由于缺乏区域性肺部测量技术，呼吸的详细机制尚不清楚。该项目旨在开发一种强大的分析工具来对肺部的体内机械特性进行成像。该项目的预期成果是建立一个用于调查和了解肺功能的新颖平台，使以前只能用于整个肺部的信息能够计算出体内局部肺部区域的信息。开发的图像分析方法旨在使呼吸研究人员能够以前所未有的细节研究肺功能，从而对这个复杂而重要的器官的运作产生新的见解。
