In this study the changes in upper airway geometry and resistance between images, obtained in upright and supine position, will be evaluated. Therefore a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan and a low dose Computed Tomography (CT) scan will be taken in a population of 20 subjects. The upright morphology will be obtained using CBCT scan while the supine upper airway geometry will be determined using a standard High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scanner.

| Changes in upper airway geometry | The primary objective of this study is to compare the volume and resistance of the upper airway in supine versus upright position using High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images. | At day 1 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
