To clarify whether the radiographic estimate of total lung capacity (TLC) using the method of Barnhard et al., as modified by Loyd et al., yields accurate values, we measured TLC in 20 young healthy subjects with the above technique (Vb). We compared it to the more sophisticated radiologic method of Pierce et al. (Vp) and to plethysmographic measurements (Vbox). Plethysmographic results, 7.38 +/- 0.94 l (mean +/- SD) or 101.7% of predicted, were significantly higher than Vb (mean difference 0.53 +/- 0.68 l; p less than 0.005 by paired t test), but were not significantly different from Vp (mean difference 0.13 +/- 0.52 l). Based on these and previous data, we conclude that the Pierce et al. approach yields more accurate results than the Barnhard and Loyd method, although individual data, in both methods, should be interpreted cautiously.
