Dorsal/ventral heat-map for MCT behaviour in pig trachea. Two dimensional heat-map showing the effect of aerosolised hypertonic on MCT particle velocity in the seven pig tracheal segments (n = 3 pigs) over the 10-minute imaging period. The heat-map orientation is the same as Fig. 3a and c. With treatment the hot spot shifts slightly right, indicating that the bulk of the particle movement is laterally towards the right lateral wall (the average angle of particle transport was +28.3° from vertical)
