Two-dimensional shear wave elastography: a new tool for evaluating respiratory muscle stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients

Abstract Background Impaired respiratory function caused by respiratory muscle dysfunction is one of the common consequences of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) was used to measure diaphragm stiffness (DS) and intercostal m...
