Figure 5
Three-dimensional visualization of the distal-medial tip of the right lower rat lung lobe. The gray structure in the background shows a semi-transparent view of the tomographic dataset with segmented airways. The foreground shows isosurfaces of terminal airways. The wireframe cube has a side length of 1024 pixels and encloses the field of view of one conventional scan. (a) Conventional scan; the extracted airway segments (magenta and yellow or left and right, respectively) are only partially contained inside the total sample volume. Airway segments not contained in the dataset but present in the sample are shown semi-transparent. This conventional scan corresponds to a reconstruction of the central of the three wide-field scan subscans. (b) Wide-field scan with increased field of view; the magenta (center) and yellow segment (right) show entire acini inside the dataset; the cyan segment (left) contains a partially cut acinus. All airway segments inside the sample are contained in the tomographic dataset.
