Stabilizing function of the diaphragm: dynamic MRI and synchronized spirometric assessment

Abstract: The aim was to describe diaphragmatic behavior during postural limb activities and examine the ventilatory and stabilizing functions of the diaphragm. Thirty healthy subjects were examined in the supine position using a dynamic MRI system assessed simultaneously with specialized spirometric readings. The diaphragmatic excursions (DEs) were measured at three diaphragmatic points in the sagittal plane; the diaphragm positions (DPs) as related to a reference horizontal baseline were determined. Measurements were … Show more

“…27 Similarly, higher inspiratory pressures and hypertrophic changes in the diaphragm have been demonstrated during exercise. 1,6 It can be assumed that, in cases of postural instability, the insufficient stabilizers must be compensated by other muscles.…”

“…27 The diaphragm was imaged in the sagittal plane with the subject in supine, using a body coil. The imaging plane was placed sagittally in the axial topogram directed paravertebrally to the right, midway between the center of the vertebral body and the edge of the thoracic wall.…”
