The morphology of the diaphragm is an important factor in the consideration of dyspnoea and treatment of respiratory diseases. The acquisition of images with commonly used methods is limited by the patient position or duration of the procedure. We present the first images of the diaphragm acquired in an upright MR scanner, and estimate repeatability and differences in morphology depending on posture.
