  1. *This value was converted from a fixed lumen diameter ratio based on bronchial cast data [20].
  2. **This is a theoretical value [21] and was converted from a fixed lumen diameter ratio.
  3. ***This value was calculated from CT measures of 3rd and 4th generation airway lumen areas provided in the Table four of the paper [23].
