Distribution of airway narrowing responses across generations and at branching points, assessed in vitro by anatomical optical coherence tomography

Background: Previous histological and imaging studies have shown the presence of variability in the degree of bronchoconstriction of airways sampled at different locations in the lung (i.e., heterogeneity). Heterogeneity can occur at different airway generations and at branching points in the bronch...
