A completely different treatment approach was chosen for 2 patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis and complaints of dyspnea despite similar anatomic and physiologic abnormalities. These decisions were supported by results obtained by functional respiratory imaging (FRI). FRI generated functional information on lobar ventilation and local drug deposition.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the shape and function of the upper airway in healthy individuals changes when switching from an upright to a lying down position during normal breathing, using advanced imaging techniques like CT and CBCT scans.
- Researchers found that the upper airway was larger and had lower resistance while upright compared to lying down, with significant increases in airway sizes in certain areas.
- The findings suggest that body mass index and gender may influence these changes, highlighting the need for further research to understand how posture affects medication delivery in the lungs.
