Figure 3

Computed tomography scan examples of basal lung areasduring expiration. Upper two scans, during baseline, before lung lavage. Middle two scans, conventional mechanical ventilation after lung lavage. Lower two scans, during open lung ventilation after lung lavage. Good aerated lung areas (-1000 Houndsfield units (HU) to -600 HU) are coded red in the right-hand scans, poorly aerated areas (-600 HU to -200 HU) are coded green, and non-aerated lung areas (-200 HU to +200 HU) are coded blue.
