Figure 5

Aeration distribution assessed by whole-lung computed tomography (CT) scan in one animal. The arrow indicates the caudal portion. The CT scan slice level used in the present study is marked with crosses. Note that poorly aerated areas are more intense at zero end-expiratory pressure near the diaphragm (CT slices above 30 at panel (b) as compared to panel (a)).
