Figure 3. Panel of patient maps and serum index - Ordinate in the plots represents the lung-involvement percentage and abscissa the correspondent serum index. The first panel line shows the lung-involvement percentage versus the C-reactive protein levels for Scheme I (a) and Scheme II (b). The second panel line displays the lung-involvement percentage versus erythrocyte sedimentation rate for Scheme I (c) and Scheme II (d). Third line is the lung-involvement percentage versus the albumin levels for Scheme I (e) and Scheme II (f). Statistical analysis by Mann Whitney with p > 0.05 between Schemes I and II. Open square (full square) represent patients results pre- (post-) treatment. As expected, a clear reduction of sample area was observed posttreatment, with serum indices within the normal range of values. The plots show that the novel 3D reconstruction method of evaluate lung involvement accompanies the reduction in the serum indices.
