Numerical Estimates of the Fractal Dimension of the Spatial Human Bronchial Tree by Two-Dimensional Box-Counting-Method
Jörn Stypa · Fractals · 1998
Photographs of the human bronchial trees were obtained from resin casts. After data editing, the fractal dimension of the contour of the bronchial tree was determined by the 2D box-counting-method (2D-BCM). Mathematical theorems about projections and intersections allow us to determine the fractal dimension of the spatial human bronchial tree.
