This study investigates ventilator-induced lung injury in a rat model using ex-vivo imaging and mechanical analysis, finding that fibrotic lungs show reduced airspace enlargement compared to healthy lungs after injurious ventilation.

This study uses longitudinal micro-CT to detect and quantify the onset and progression of IPF-like lung disease in Nedd4-2-/- mice.

The paper demonstrates that formaldehyde vapor fixation preserves porcine lung tissue for high-resolution phase contrast CT imaging and histology, validating its use for studying lung pathology.
