Imaging atelectrauma in Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury using 4D X-ray microscopy
Abstract Mechanical ventilation can damage the lungs, a condition called Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). However, the mechanisms leading to VILI at the microscopic scale remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the within-tidal dynamics of cyclic recruitment/derecruitment (R/D) using sy...
