Fig. 3From: Lung distribution of gas and blood volume in critically ill COVID-19 patients: a quantitative dual-energy computed tomography studyQuantitative DECT analysis in patients receiving non-invasive versus invasive respiratory support. Lung tissue mass, divided into four aeration compartments, is reported as percent of total lung mass (a); striped bars represent non-perfused regions. The bottom panel (b) illustrates the lung mass divided according to the aeration-perfusion matching compartments. *Significant difference between patients receiving non-invasive and invasive ventilation (p < 0.05). DECT dual-energy computed tomography. Bars and error bars represent the mean and standard error of the mean, respectivelyBack to article page
