A digital tracing method was developed for rapid determination of total lung capacity from chest roentgenograms. The procedure, which requires approximately 1 minute, was tested in 53 subjects. The calculations were based both on summation of ellipsoids and planimetry. The radiologic methods showed excellent correlation with each other (r=.95) and also with physiologic measurements (r=.85).
