Abstract: A diaphragm imaging device includes at least one electronic processor programmed to perform a diaphragm imaging method including receiving ultrasound imaging data of a diaphragm of a patient, the ultrasound imaging data being acquired by an associated ultrasound imaging probe with the probe at a plurality of different observable probe angles (βobs); for each observable probe angle, determining a corresponding apparent thickness (dI) of the diaphragm of the patient from the received ultrasound data acquired at that observable probe angle; and estimating a thickness (dD) of the diaphragm of the patient based at least on the apparent thicknesses (dI).
