PBF ratios for ROI_lung_sideand ROI_specific. PBF ratio expressed as the median of the quotients of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV_max) in the left versus right side in the control group (n = 6) and injured versus uninjured side in the acid aspiration group (n = 5) for each lung (ROI_lung_side) and for a spherical region of interest of 0.24 cm³ (ROI_specific). The data are shown as the median [25th and 75th percentiles] and the minimum to maximum values. Lower mean concentrations of Ga-68 microspheres in the injured region yield a PBF ratio < 1 in ROI_{lung side} or ROI_specific. P compared with the control group.
