Purpose To compare lung volume, lung apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and signal
intensity ratio (SIR) on different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences between …

We developed a MRI protocol using transverse (T2) and longitudinal (T1) mapping
sequences to characterise lung structural changes in preterm infants with …

BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is the random Brownian motion of water
molecules within a tissue voxel. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a quantitative …

Rationale: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a serious neonatal pulmonary condition
associated with premature birth, but the underlying parenchymal disease and trajectory are …

Preterm birth still represents a concrete emergency to be managed and addressed globally.
Since cerebral white matter injury is the major form of brain impairment in survivors of …

Introduction: Preterm-births account for 10% of worldwide births, and those born at 32 weeks
gestation or less have deterioration in their lung function in childhood and beyond. A …

Neonatal chronic lung disease lacks standardized assessment of lung structural changes.
We addressed this clinical need by the development of a novel scoring system [UNSEAL …

Preterm birth is associated with altered white matter microstructure, defined by metrics
derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) is a useful …

Abstract Background and Objective The most common respiratory complication of
prematurity is bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), leading to structural lung changes and …

Purpose To develop an in vivo diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) technique to
study embryonic mouse brain structure and injury. Materials and Methods Pregnant CD‐1 …
