Abstract:Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) is routinely performed to assess dyspnea, but few data are evaluating diaphragmatic muscle using CT. This study aimed to assess CT in the diagnosis of diaphragmatic dysfunction.
Methods: We retrospectively collected diaphragmatic ultrasounds performed between 2018 and 2021 at our center (Marseille, France). We measured diaphragmatic pillars on CT at the level of L1 and the celiac artery, as well as the difference in height between the two diaphragmatic domes in diaphragma… Show more
