Table 3.
Data for measured parameters for all the groups presented as the means plus/minus one standard deviation. The number of positive results is listed as a fraction of the number (n) in the group. Comet tail artefacts (CTA) are given as a percentage of the bright lung surface image. In addition, the statistical P value of Mann-Whitney rank sum tests for PCH area relative to shams are listed with P>0.05 shown as not significant (NS).
