Parasternal intercostal muscle ultrasound in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease correlates with spirometric severity

Abstract In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), loss of computed tomography (CT)-measured intercostal mass correlates with spirometric severity. Intercostal muscle ultrasound offers a repeatable and radiation-free alternative, however requires validation. We aimed to determine the reliabil...
