📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: To determine the normal reference values for both lung inspiratory volumes in children and adolescents with routine computed tomography (CT) and compare relationships with gender and age.Material and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 100 cases (53 males, 47 females) with normal chest CT (age range: 4-17 years).
📊
Key Findings & Data:The cases were divided into three subgroups based on age as 4-7 years (preschool; n=31), 8-12 years (school-age; n=30) and 13-17 years (adolescent; n=39).

Abstract
Aim: To determine the normal reference values for both lung inspiratory volumes in children and adolescents with routine computed tomography (CT) and compare relationships with gender and age.Material and Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 100 cases (53 males, 47 females) with normal chest CT (age range: 4-17 years). The cases were divided into three subgroups based on age as 4-7 years (preschool; n=31), 8-12 years (school-age; n=30) and 13-17 years (adolescent; n=39). Demographic data like sex and age were recorded. Right, left and total lung volumes were calculated with automatic volumetric software. Volume comparisons were made for lungs, gender and age groups. Statistical analysis used the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, Mann-Whitney U test and Tamhane test.Results: For all cases the right lung volume was greater than the left lung (p
