Owing to the extent of lung collapse estimated on chest radiograph it is still the complementary test most commonly used in the management of patients with pneumothorax. There are several indices to assess the extent of lung collapse. The objective of this study was to develop a more accurate index, using the 3D printing technology. We created physical hemithorax models using 3D printing. In this way, we obtained simple radiographs of models for which the lung volume was known accurately. In the first part of the study, we es
