Ultrasound assessment of the diaphragm: Preliminary study of a canine model of x‐linked myotubular myopathy

Discussion: This pilot demonstrates the feasibility of using ultrasound for quantitative assessment of the diaphragm in a canine model. Ultrasonography may potentially replace invasive measures of diaphragm function in canine models and in humans in the future, for non‐invasive respiratory monitoring and evaluation of neuromuscular disease. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
