Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of computing the total lung capacity (TLC) without operator intervention by means of the picture analysis of the anterior and lateral X-ray images. Barnhard´s ellipse method was employed which requires as parameters such features as the top of the diaphragm in both views, and the width of the heart in the lateral view.
