High-resolution mucociliary transport measurement in live excised large animal trachea using synchrotron X-ray imaging

Table 1 The number of imaging runs in which MCT tracking particles were successfully tracked in each group

Imaging direction	Treatment	Sheep (n = 5)	Pigs (n = 3)
Dorsal/Ventral	Baseline	14	15
	Hypertonic	1	7
	Isotonic	0	6
	Mannitol	0	3
Lateral	Baseline	14	10
	Hypertonic	3	2
	Isotonic	4	3
	Mannitol	0	4
Other	Upside down	2	0
	At 24 h	1	0
	Lung	0	4
		39	51

Note that multiple runs (i.e. baseline followed by aerosol treatment) were performed in some segments
