Fig. 7From: Generalized estimation of the ventilatory distribution from the multiple-breath nitrogen washoutAveraged absolute values of the relative difference between logSD of estimated and reference ventilation-to-volume distributions. Unimodal (upper panel) and bimodal (lower panel). All simulation and recovery conditions are depicted and indicated (rows and columns of the matrices). Colors coded on the right side of the figure indicate intervals of the relative difference. Sign inside each cell indicate if the recovered distribution is broadened (+) or narrowed (−); EELV end-expiratory lung volume, V T tidal volumeBack to article page
