Images showing correlations between control lung lobe (left) and saline-instilled lobes with an increasing amount of extravascular lung water (right). Upper panels: scanning electron microscopy (StereoScan 360 microscope, Leica Cambridge Instruments, UK) showing interstitial thickening in saline-instilled lobes with the corresponding histology. Lower panels: ultrasonography with the corresponding gray-scale distribution analysis by video-based quantitative method. (Personal data from Francesco Corradi)
