Rationale: Dynamic collapse of the tracheal lumen (tracheomalacia) occurs frequently in
premature neonates, particularly in those with common comorbidities such as …

Background Bronchoscopy is the gold standard for evaluating tracheomalacia; however,
reliance on an invasive procedure limits understanding of normal airway dynamics. Self …

Rationale: Patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-associated pulmonary
hypertension (PH) have increased morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive assessment relies …

Background Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the current standard methods
for assessing lung anatomy and pulmonary ventilation, respectively. However, CT provides …

Objectives Respiratory binning of free-breathing magnetic resonance imaging data reduces
motion blurring; however, it exacerbates noise and introduces severe artifacts due to …

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 Neonatal dynamic tracheal collapse (tracheomalacia, TM) is a common and
serious comorbidity in infants, particularly those with chronic lung disease of prematurity …

Pulmonary proton MRI techniques offer the unique possibility of assessing lung function and
structure without the requirement for hyperpolarization or dedicated hardware, which is …

There have been significant advancements in the various imaging techniques being used
for the evaluation of asthmatic patients, both from a clinical and research perspective …

Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease of prematurity
defined by requirement for respiratory support at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), but …
