Abstract The non-uniqueness of $$\dot V_A /\dot Q$$ distributions satisfying inert gas retention data without error is studied. The ability of such data to resolve blood flows at particular $$\dot V_A /\dot Q$$ values is discussed through the application of linear programming and Backus-Gilbert theory. It is shown that the resolution deteriorates away from the extremes of low and high $$\dot V_A /\dot Q$$ .
