Quantification of Lung Damage in an Elastase-Induced Mouse Model of Emphysema

Figure 2

Sample transversal mouse lung micro-CT slices 17 days after instillation. (a) Control. (b) Elastase treated. Both slices are calibrated in Hounsfield units and displayed with a 2500 window centered at a level of zero. Note how the lung of the elastase-treated animal appears darker than the control lung.
