Detection of posttraumatic pneumothorax using electrical impedance tomography—An observer-blinded study in pigs with blunt chest trauma

Fig 2

Newly developed PTX classification for the classification and localization of PTX in pigs.

The PTX classification was developed to cope with the special pulmonary anatomy in pigs with an accessory median lobe (segment 6) where most of the PTX were observed in the study. The black numbers indicate the number of the defined segment, the white numbers in the blue circles indicate the quantity of observed PTX in the specific segment. Note that most PTX were observed in the anterior segments of the lung. Segment 5, 7 and 8 are combinations of 2 segments.
