Lung Magnetic Resonance Imaging. a- Representative axial MR images of Control, LPS, LPS + M and LPS + M2 groups at 24 h, 72 h and 168 h post intrapulmonary administration of either M1 or M2 bone-marrow derived macrophages subpopulations. Red arrows highlight the presence of void signal dots, related to the presence of iron-labeled macrophages co-localized with inflammatory regions in the lung. b- Quantification of inflamed lung volume (ILV) for the different groups during the 1-week follow-up investigation. Data expressed as mean ± SD, n = 6 per group. * p < 0.05. **p < 0.01
