Chest X-Ray Marker for Predicting Lung Cancer Outcomes

Caption

Measurement of diaphragmatic dome height (DDH) on a chest radiograph acquired within one month before surgery. The red lines indicate the reference baseline and the longest vertical distance to the diaphragm used to calculate DDH. This simple imaging-based measure reflects diaphragmatic function and can help predict survival outcomes in patients with lung cancer and obstructive ventilatory disorders.
