3D imaging could offer new way to diagnose diaphragm dysfunction
NCT ID NCT05339698
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to measure how much air the lungs can hold in people with suspected diaphragm weakness. About 100 adults will have two quick 3D scans while holding their breath. The goal is to see if this technique gives reliable results compared to standard tests, not to provide treatment.
