Computed tomography data and recruitability. GGO, ground-glass opacity; RI, recruitment to inflation ratio. The diagnostic CT algorithm automatically differentiated between lung texture with normal, reticular, ground-glass opacified or consolidated tissue (data for lung texture with emphysema or honeycomb characteristics are not shown and explain the gap to 100%). Patients classified as non-recruiters presented with an increased fraction of lung tissue with reticular texture (6% (IQR: 3–8%) vs. 2% (0–3%); p = 0.032). Fractions of lung volume with normal, GGO or consolidated pattern did not differ between both groups
