to the editor: Based on 4DCT imaging ([3][1]), this Viewpoint ([5][2]) investigates how lobar flow sequencing can contribute to generate a positive phase III slope. Results suggest that interlobar differences in expansion and deflation during the respiratory cycle contribute to Scond. We agree that
