Shining a light on automated diaphragm function quantification: Towards an ultrasound-based, reproducible measuring tool

<b>Background: </b>The diaphragm is poorly monitored in the Intensive care unit (ICU), despite its evident importance in respiration. Ultrasound (US) is frequently employed to evaluate diaphragm thickness (DT) and diaphragm thickening factor (DTF) but requires expertise and only covers a small diaphragm area. Therefore, advanced US (post-...
