Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is in the center of the scientific debate both
for its complex pathophysiology and for the discussion about the remedies that could contribute to
its healing. The intricate interplay of different body systems that characterizes ARDS is mirrored
by two main research threads, one centered on the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease
and the other on the new approaches to lung imaging. In this Special Issue of the Journal of
Clinical Medicine are presented studies using imaging technologies based on electrical impedance
tomography, synchrotron radiation computed tomography and intravital probe-based confocal laser
endomicroscopy. The studies on the pathophysiological mechanisms pertain to the evaluation of the
biomarkers of the disease and the platelet disfunction during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
These contributions witness the intensity of ARDS research as many of the key problems of the disease
are only in part resolved.
