An ultrasound diaphragmography device includes a plurality of piezoelectric ultrasound transducers arranged in at least two linear arrays for placement on a patient's chest along a cranio-caudal axis of the patient. The ultrasound transducers generate and transmit ultrasound waves that penetrate the patient's anatomy and receive returned ultrasound waves. Circuitry in communication with the ultrasound transducers receive the returned ultrasound waves and analyzes the returned ultrasound waves to determine the quality of the patient's lung function in real-time and compare the movement of the left and right hemidiaphragms.
