Dynamic chest radiography in post-lobectomy recovery: a novel approach to evaluating pulmonary function and thoracic structures in patients with primary lung cancer

Dynamic chest radiography, which assessed the projected lung area and excursion of diaphragm, emerged as a promising non-invasive tool for monitoring post-lobectomy recovery and guiding rehabilitation efforts. These findings indicate its potential as an early predictor of pulmonary recovery, advocating for its integration into the perioperative care of patients with lung cancer. Future research should expand patient cohorts and refine predictive models using preoperative dynamic chest radiography to enhance post-lobectomy outcomes.
