[The morphological alteration of the diaphragm in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with three-dimensional reconstruction of 64-slice spiral CT].
To study the morphological alteration of the diaphragm with three-dimensional reconstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to evaluate the relationship between morphological parameters and pulmonary function. ⋯ The diaphragmatic length and surface area decreased in patients with COPD, which were more pronounced in the part of the zone of apposition and occurred during RV phase.
