The left column shows the lung function with different levels of lung collapse occured in both lungs simultaneously. The middle and right columns represent, respectively, the cases that the collapse occured in the left lung and right lung only. The rows denote different levels of lung injury.

Possible reconstructions that may be caused by different distorsions are illustrated. The rows denote, respectively, the images reconstructed from different body distorsions, i.e., 10% chest expansion, 10o clockwise rotation and 2 cm right-lateral displacement.
