Abstract
A method for computing lung compliance imaging, the method comprising obtaining one or more images of lungs, determining a spatial transformation of each voxel within the lungs between the lungs at an inhale position and the lungs at an exhale position to provide displacement vector estimates for each voxel within the lungs, performing volume change inference operations to determine a volume change between the lungs at the inhale position and the lungs at the exhale position based on an inhale region of interest, an exhale region of interest, and the displacement vector estimates for each voxel within the lungs, computing a lung compliance based on the volume change inference operations.
