A lobar notational system for the identification of airways in the mammalian lung is presented. This system was developed to identify uniquely the location of morphometric and deposition data within a lobe as well as within the lung, and to provide for easy and efficient data reduction. In addition, this notational system can be used to identify main stems like those found in the monopodial lung, and incorporates identification of terminal bronchioles in the airway identifier. The lobar notational system is composed of a two-character lobe code, followed by a third character identifying the branching structure as monopodial or symmetric. The fourth digit identifies the relative position of a branch within the lobe. Subsequent digits identify the airway's relative location within the branching.
本文提出了一种用于识别哺乳动物肺中气道的叶标记系统。开发该系统是为了唯一地识别叶内以及肺内形态测量和沉积数据的位置，并实现简单高效的数据缩减。此外，该标记系统可用于识别单支肺中那样的主支气管，并在气道标识符中纳入终末细支气管的识别。叶标记系统由一个双字符叶代码组成，后面跟着第三个字符，用于识别分支结构是单支的还是对称的。第四位数字识别叶内分支的相对位置。后续数字识别气道在分支内的相对位置。
