Study setup. With participants in sitting position, ultrasound and fluoroscopic recordings were made simultaneously. Ultrasound recorded diaphragm excursion from the left lateral view (recording 1 and 2 with curvilinear and linear transducer), from the right lateral view (recording 3 and 4 with curvilinear and linear transducer), and from the midclavicular view (recording 5 with curvilinear transducer). All recordings were made in both sniff and IC inspiration, a total of ten recordings. Fluoroscopy recorded diaphragm excursion in the same breathing manoeuvre as was recorded by ultrasonography. The recordings were later analyzed and the diaphragm excursion was measured as described in the figure and in the text
