摘要翻译：
肺通气量测量是诊断肺部疾病最可靠的技术之一。近年来，基于多重活动轮廓演化的自动技术改进了传统的超极化H${}^{3}$HE和${}^{1}$H磁共振成像方法，该方法耗时长且容易产生偏差。映射结果从一个等效的热力学模型，这里我们分析的基本动力学编排活动轮廓(AC)方法。我们证明了这种数值方法与经典类核动力学的普遍标度行为有着内在的联系。指数值与理论模型的良好比较进一步证明了我们的主张。

英文摘要：
  Measurement of lung ventilation is one of the most reliable techniques of diagnosing pulmonary diseases. The time consuming and bias prone traditional methods using hyperpolarized H${}^{3}$He and ${}^{1}$H magnetic resonance imageries have recently been improved by an automated technique based on multiple active contour evolution. Mapping results from an equivalent thermodynamic model, here we analyse the fundamental dynamics orchestrating the active contour (AC) method. We show that the numerical method is inherently connected to the universal scaling behavior of a classical nucleation-like dynamics. The favorable comparison of the exponent values with the theoretical model render further credentials to our claim.
