Modelling the dynamics of tuberculosis lesions in a virtual lung: Role of the bronchial tree in endogenous reinfection
Fig 9
Comparison of experimental and computationally obtained distributions of lesion location and size.
Computational distributions were obtained considering as initial infection one lesion in the mass centre of the observed lesions. The set of parameters used is: ρ = 0.13 day-1, β = 0.08 mm-1, and rmax = 0.68 mm. (A) Coordinate X (Left—Right) histogram comparison. (B) Coordinate Y (Anterior–Posterior) histogram comparison. (C) Coordinate Z (Vertical) histogram comparison. (D) Diameter distribution histogram comparison.
