Protection of the Cardiopulmonary Systems against the Injurious Effects of Acceleration.
Abstract
The investigators have developed a single source computerized X-ray fluoroscopic system for three-dimensional reconstruction and display of moving organs, particularly the heart, lungs and circulation which provide the potential for studies in intact animals and humans of the dynamic anatomy and associated functions of moving organs in ways never before achievable. For example, these techniques can be used with the subjects in a variety of positions, such as prone, suspine, right and left lateral decubitus, and under conditions of increased gravitational-inertial stress such as might be experienced in aerial combat maneuvers. This allows investigations of the relationships of the dynamic three-dimensional structural geometry to the physical and biochemical functions of both moving and stationary organ systems.
