Example functional EIT images. The images show the regional fall in electrical bioimpedance in lung areas in one of the examined animals in the supine (top) and the prone positions (bottom) at three time points during the bronchoalveolar lavage procedure. The impedance decrease is shown in dark tones after the disconnection of the endotracheal tube from the ventilator before the fluid instillation (t1), after the fluid instillation (t2) and after the fluid suction before the resumption of ventilation (t3) in each case relative to baseline. v, ventral; d, dorsal; r, right; l, left
