From: Imaging atelectrauma in Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury using 4D X-ray microscopy
Maps of non-aerated lung regions after injurious ventilation. The maps refer to the static CT images acquired during expiration (5 cmH2O, upper panel) and inspiration (25 cmH2O, lower panel). White: non aerated regions after injurious ventilation; Red: non aerated regions after injurious ventilation which were already present after saline lavage. A spatial co-localization between non-aerated regions before and after injurious ventilation is visible at a pressure of 5 cmH2O. Recruitment of non-aerated regions upon inspiration is visible after saline lavage (lower panel).
