Phrenic Nerve involvement in Charcot Marie Tooth disease

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Simplified, a 'chest roentgenogram' is a chest X Ray.

Since 'hemi' means 1/2, and since the diaphragm is the thin muscle

below the lungs and heart seperating the chest from the abdomen, I am

supposing the term 'hemidiaphragm' is referring to half of the

diaphragm in some way. Sorry but I'm not up to speed on alot of other

human anatomy - lol, but mostly I stick with feet and legs.

I hope this helps you somewhat in understanding the abstract.
