  Figure 1. (A) Chest X-ray shows the cavitation sign at the anterior-right region. (B) Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) functional image shows the ventilation distribution in four regions (right [R], left [L], anterior [A], and posterior [P]). (C) Waveforms plot of lung volume for anterior-left (red) and anterior-right (blue) regions and airway pressure (inspiratory pressure 15 cm H2O plus positive end-expiratory pressure of 10 cm H2O, 15 cm H2O, and 20 cm H2O).
