Abstract

The respiratory system is essential to maintain life but can be affected by many types of diseases. Thus, a better understanding of pulmonary structure, function, and physiology is critical to solving the universal problems associated with peoples’ health in the respiratory system. In this chapter, we focus on the rib and diaphragm motion, as well as the lung density, closely related to the pulmonary function. As an effective tool for comprehensively understanding pulmonary function, dynamic chest radiography (DCR) and its findings in animal and clinical studies are introduced, followed by a proposal of cross-disciplinary approaches based on DCR in the respiratory system.
