Abstract :
Our goal is the development of a visual computer tool to study the motion induced in the abdomen by breathing. Our inputs are X-ray images, which are acquired in normal inspiration and normal expiration positions. Our researches lead to the conception of a software program that allows an accurate, complete and efficient analysis of visceral dynamics.
