Lung volumes in supine nonambulatory patients are physiological parameters often difficult to measure with current techniques (plethysmograph, gas dilution). Existing radiographic methods for measuring lung volumes require standard upright chest radiographs. Accordingly, in 31 normal supine adults, we determined helium-dilution functional residual and total lung capacities and measured planimetric lung field areas (LFA) from corresponding portable anteroposterior and lateral radiographs. Low radiation dose methods, which delivered less than 10% of that from standard portable X-ray technique, were utilized. Correlation between lung volume and radiographic LFA was highly significant (r = 0.96, SEE = 10.6%). Multiple-step regressions using height and chest diameter correction factors reduced variance, but weight and radiographic magnification factors did not. In 17 additional subjects studied for validation, the regression equations accurately predicted radiographic lung volume. Thus, this technique can provide accurate and rapid measurement of lung volume in studies involving supine patients.
