Average distribution of CT-derived functional parameters on a normalized image grid as a function of survival status at 90 days. Rec: recruitment (fraction of tissue mass per region); HI: hyperinflation (fraction of tissue mass per region); sΔV: specific volume change from 5 to 15 cmH2O (unitless). ΔHU: density change from 5 to 15 cmH2O. J: Jacobian determinant. Note the increased recruitment, a less left-skewed and more apically distributed sΔV in survivors
