Fig. 4

The coronal, sagittal, and transversal projection of mean of Jacobian determinants in IPF patient and control. Marked shrinkage areas (in red) are found in the peripheral region of lung bases in healthy volunteers (a–c) and study participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (d–f) in MRI. In corresponding areas, the lungs of IPF patients show little deformation with mean Jacobian determinant
