Correlation of diaphragmatic mobility and thickening assessed by lung ultrasound with severity of interstitial lung disease
Diaphragmatic excursion velocity during DB showed a weak to moderate correlation with pulmonary function parameters and HRCT fibrosis score and may be utilized as a surrogate marker in ILD patients unable to perform pulmonary function tests or undergo sequential HRCT thorax in follow-up.
