An automated morphometric approach to evaluate distal lung patterning in mouse models of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Declan J. Gainer, Mark L. Ormiston

The paper introduces a semi-automated method using Fiji to quantify lung airway and alveolar features in a mouse model of BPD, showing correlations with mean linear intercept and demonstrating structural changes in hyperoxia-exposed mice.
