Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the first part of the study is to determine the most optimal method for DIBH (active breathing control vs voluntary coached) and its reproducibility. Based on these findings, one of these methods will be selected for part 2 of this study.
