Fieldthoracic
Fieldthoracic is a term occasionally used in biomedical contexts to describe a field of study, measurement, or modeling focused on the thoracic region. It is not widely standardized and may appear in varying forms such as field-thoracic, thoracic field, or thoracic-field modeling. In biomechanical research, the term is sometimes employed to denote representations of the chest wall, lungs, heart, and associated vasculature as a coupled system affected by respiration and movement. Researchers may use finite element models or lumped-parameter approaches to simulate chest mechanics, breathing dynamics, and related forces within this field.
In radiotherapy, the phrase thoracic field more commonly refers to the radiation treatment field covering thoracic
Data sources for fieldthoracic analyses typically include medical imaging (CT, MRI, fluoroscopy), motion capture, and sensor
