Fig. 1

Schematic diagram of the experimental setting. The lung lobe (represented by a double lung for ease of understanding) is placed in a plexiglass dome in the computed tomography (CT) gantry. Green lines mark ventilation/gas tubes. The dashed line corresponds to the venous return of leaked perfusate. Degradable starch microspheres and contrast agents are added to the pulmonary artery. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenator is placed in front of the CT gantry and the ventilator is placed behind the CT gantry. The contrast agent injector, a monitor for pulmonary artery pressure measurements and the automated syringe infusion pump are also visible
