Abstract
An approximate formula relating the volume of a pneumothorax to the decrease in linear dimensions of the lung is presented. For a small pneumothorax, the fractional volume occupied by pneumothorax is three times the fractional decrease in linear dimensions of the lung. These relationships were demonstrated with a simple phantom.Mesh：
