Purpose: To retrospectively determine an algorithm based on fetal body volume (FBV) by
using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to calculate relative lung volume in fetuses with …

Purpose: To retrospectively determine the effect of gestational age (GA), imaging plane,
section thickness, and inter-and intraobserver variability on fetal lung volume (FLV) …

Rationale: A sensitive outcome measure for infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia would
facilitate clinical benchmarking and enhance epidemiologic understanding, evaluation of …

Background: An objective definition of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is required to
interpret trial outcomes and provide a baseline for prognostic studies. Current definitions do …

Pulmonary disease is the most important cause of morbidity in preterm neonates, whose
lungs are often physiologically and morphologically immature. Surfactant deficiency in …

Objective To determine if infants developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD),
particularly mild BPD, initially had minimal lung function abnormalities, which then worsened …

Fetal lung hypoplasia is associated with a series of congenital anomalies, particularly the
congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Evaluation of the severity of the lung hypoplasia is …

Background A radiation-free advanced imaging modality is desirable for investigating
congenital thoracic malformations in young children. Objective To describe magnetic …

Rationale: While infants who are born extremely premature and develop bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) have impaired alveolar development and decreased pulmonary diffusion …

Background Diaphragmatic atrophy associated with mechanical ventilation is reported in
pediatric and adult patients, but a similar association has not been described in preterm …
