Diaphragm assessment by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging in normal subjects

BACKGROUND: Conventionally, ultrasonographic assessment of diaphragm contractility has involved measuring respiratory changes in diaphragm thickness (thickening fraction) using B-mode or caudal displacement with M-mode. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking has been increasingly used to assess muscle def...
