Radiological injury propagation in two representative rats. Images were obtained after acid aspiration (following a period of stabilization of one hour) and were repeated hourly. Coronal (A) and axial (B) images are shown. One animal (top panel) showed rapidly spreading radiological infiltrates and died after two hours of ventilation. The second animal (bottom panel) had limited injury propagation and survived until the end of the experiment.
