Fig. 5

The lobar flow (Q) root-mean-squared difference (RMSD) plotted as a function of the (a) forced vital capacity (FVC), (b) diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO), (c) ratio between the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and FVC, and (d) gender-age-physiology (GAP) index (See Methods Section). The unit of % predicted represents the value of the quantity expressed as a percentage of the normal reference value (See Methods Section). Values for healthy (N = 13) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) subjects (N = 9) are shown as red and blue dots, respectively.
