Table 2. Pulmonary lesion assessment results for the three experimental groups analyzed by computed tomography (CT).

The volume of lung gross lesions, the ratio of the volume of lesions/volume of lungs, and the volume of calcification measured using computer tomography. Number of animals showing cavitary lesions is also shown.
