In vivo measurements of lung function using respiratory-gated micro-computed tomography in a smoke-exposure model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Respiratory-gated micro-CT imaging of free-breathing mice at multiple respiratory phases is noninvasive and provides additional information about lung structure and function that complements postmortem techniques and could be used to monitor changes over time.
