In elderly patients after CABG a high diaphragm may be related to paralysis but eventration is in DD. It is hard to evaluate them by fluoroscopy and bedside sonography is the only available method in most of them.

CXR in my opinion is better than ultrasound in this case.
In case there is a doubt between eventration and diaphragmatic rupture, advise CT.
To differentiate pleural, lung pathology from eventration, US may be useful and of course CT.
