The mechanical properties of the lung parenchyma, airways, vasculature, and surrounding structures play an essential role in overall ventilation efficacy.

Recent advancements in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition techniques, combined with advanced image post-processing algorithms and deep neural networks, have enabled comprehensive quantitative assessment of lung structure, tissue deformation, and lung function at the voxel level. These methods have led to better phenotyping, therapeutic strategies, and refined our understanding of pathological processes that compromise pulmonary function in COPD. In this review, we discuss recent developments in imaging and image processing methods for studying pulmonary biomechanics with a specific focus on clinical applications for COPD, including the assessment of regional ventilation, planning of endobronchial valve treatment, prediction of disease onset and progression, sizing of lungs for transplantation, and guiding mechanical ventilation.

Recent studies have shown that multifrequency ventilation (MFV), the technique of presenting multiple simultaneous frequencies in flow or pressure at the airway opening, may provide more uniform ventilation distribution and parenchymal strain throughout the mechanically heterogeneous lung. In this study, we simulated gas flow within a porcine central airway tree, from the trachea to the fifth generation, with dynamic boundary conditions (BCs) during volume-controlled conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) cycled at 0.27 Hz (16.2 min-1), as well as MFV waveforms comprised of two fast sinusoidal components (i.e., 3.5 Hz and 7.0 Hz) superimposed on the 0.27 Hz CMV waveform. By using forced gas flows at the airway opening of the computational lung model, dynamic pressures at various airway segments were predicted, based on the interactions of internal flow with the downstream elastances and peripheral resistances. Internal airflows were simulated and analyzed in both time- and frequency-domains. The results indicate that MFV resulted in stronger asymmetric flow (i.e., \"pendelluft\") at end-inspiration and end-expiration. MFV also appeared to augment inlet-outlet phase differences for both pressure and flow compared with CMV, suggesting that MFV may enhance gas mixing, thus facilitating more efficient ventilation.</p>","PeriodicalId":54871,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomechanical Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12617608/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144531192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model integrates elastin and collagen fiber mechanics at the alveolar level to capture microstructural interactions. Simulations of nonuniform alveolar pressure, particularly in the presence of atelectasis (collapsed lung regions), reveal significant localized distortions in adjacent normal parenchyma, especially along the atelectatic boundary. Results demonstrate that heterogeneous ventilation induces substantial stress concentrations in surrounding healthy tissue, which may contribute to lung injury and disease progression in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). A reduced-dimension periacinar pressure model is introduced to provide a simplified yet effective framework for analyzing these mechanical interactions. Notably, the model shows that even under seemingly normal transmural pressures, alveolar collagen fibers near atelectatic regions experience extreme tensile stresses, which could be misinterpreted as microvolutrauma despite originating from atelectasis.

As rupture results from the material failure of arterial tissue under mechanical loading, in vivo image-based techniques that can accurately characterize arterial material stiffness offer potential in risk-stratifying lesions. This study developed and validated a novel magnetic resonance (MR) image-based computational framework to evaluate the material stiffness of vascular tissue. Porcine carotid arteries (n = 4) were subjected to biaxial mechanical testing, followed by MR image acquisition under controlled loading. Best-fit material parameters for an anisotropic material model were estimated via regression analysis on the biaxial data. A deformable image registration technique, termed hyperelastic warping, was utilized to derive strain fields from the MR images and integrated with an inverse parameter estimation algorithm to identify the parameters for the same constitutive model. Experimentally and warping-estimated material stiffness values (tangent moduli) were not significantly different at physiologic lumen pressures of 80 (0.36 ± 0.15 and 0.48 ± 0.20 MPa; p = 0.14) and 120 mmHg (0.64 ± 0.27 and 0.73 ± 0.36 MPa; p = 0.60). The warping-directed inverse modeling framework identified subtle, but observable variations in material stiffness within a sample and accurately illustrated the physical influence of loading conditions on those properties. Collectively, these results demonstrated the robustness of an innovative approach to characterize nonlinear, hyperelastic behaviors of arterial tissue and quantify material stiffness directly from image data.</p>","PeriodicalId":54871,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomechanical Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12362311/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144692398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stresses are estimated from the deformed shape of tissue cylinders extracted from the brain using a biopsy needle and imaged with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

The direction of maximum tension in white matter generally aligns with axon orientation as observed with diffusion MRI in the minipig. These stress patterns (compressive in cortical gray matter, tensile along axons) are consistent with hypotheses of constrained cortical expansion and tension-induced axonal growth during brain development.

These complications are linked to imbalances in glenohumeral muscle forces, which cause eccentric loading that occurs on the outer edge of the glenoid component, rather than in the center of the glenoid, and can be damaging to the implant and destabilizing the joint. The purpose of this study was to develop musculoskeletal models of TSA patients using their skeletal geometry acquired from CT and their kinematics acquired with high-speed stereo radiography (HSSR) to predict glenohumeral joint loading and muscle forces for abduction and flexion and describe how these loads differ from their native contralateral side. CT data was collected for both shoulders of 6 TSA patients (three anatomic and three reverse). Models were developed using CT reconstructions of each patient's scapula and humerus, and placed implant geometry with CT-derived alignment. Mesh morphing was used to create personalized muscle attachment sites on the scapula. Simulation of abduction and flexion to quantify muscle and joint forces was driven with limb-specific HSSR kinematics. At 90 deg abduction, reverse TSA increased superior shear force by 11.2% bodyweight (BW) and decreased medial compressive force by 27.5%BW compared to each patient's contralateral shoulder. Lateral deltoid elevation moment arms and stability ratios increased 9.61 mm and 0.58, respectively. At 90 deg abduction, anatomic TSA patients increased humeral internal rotation by 52.7 deg and decreased rotator cuff force by 9.4%BW. Patient-specific musculoskeletal models quantified differences in glenohumeral joint mechanics.
