Single-slice images of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake rate. Single-slice images of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake rate (KiP, computed voxel-by-voxel using the Patlak method [31]) in one sheep from the protective ventilation group (right panel) and in one from the injurious ventilation group (left panel). Left side in each image corresponds to the left side in the animal. 18F-FDG uptake was lower and more homogeneous in the protective ventilation experiment.
