Chest wall and diaphragm dimensions on MRI analyses. The anteroposterior diameter (AP) and transversal diameter (left-right, LR) were measured on the transversal plane(a). The height of thorax was measured on the coronal cranial-caudal directions (CC) (b). The distance between the lung apex and anterior diaphragm (AND), diaphragm apex (APD), and posterior diaphragm (POD) on sagittal plane(c). R/LAP = the anterior-posterior distance of right and left lung, LR = the left-right distance, R/LCC = the cranial-caudal distance of right and left lung on coronal plane
