Rationale: Preterm birth is associated with low lung function in childhood, but little is known
about the lung microstructure in childhood. Objectives: We assessed the differential …

Objective The purpose of this retrospective study is to determine the fetal lung‐to‐liver signal
intensity ratio (LLSIR) on T2‐weighted images for the prediction of neonatal respiratory …

Background: Chronic lung disease, the most prevalent long-term complication after
premature birth, lacks the routine characterization of structural changes. Objective: We …

Objective Fetal brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) offers quantitative analysis of the
developing brain. The objective was to 1) quantify DTI measures across gestation in a cohort …

Objective To prospectively determine the pattern of lung intensities and T2 values in fetuses
with normally developing lungs as obtained with T2‐weighted single‐shot turbo spin echo …

Despite clinical significance of Pulmonary Hypertension resulting from failed development of
the gas exchange area in preterms with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) early markers …

In utero diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides unique opportunities to
noninvasively study the microstructure of tissue during fetal development. A wide range of …

Background Evaluation of structural lung abnormalities with magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has previously been shown to be predictive of clinical neonatal outcomes in preterm …

Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia continues to cause important respiratory
morbidity throughout life, and new therapies are needed. The common denominator of all …

PURPOSE: To plot normal fetal lung volume (FLV) obtained with fast spin-echo magnetic
resonance (MR) images against gestational age; to investigate the correlation between lung …
