First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a special type of ultrasound, called backscatter quantitative ultrasound (bQUS), to see if it can be used to check on a baby's lungs when the mother is 36 weeks pregnant. The study will involve 16 pregnant women who will have a single 30-minute ultrasound. The goal is to see if this technique is feasible and to gather initial data on fetal lung structure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive way to assess fetal lung development before birth.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 16 participants. The technique may not work as expected, and the study may be stopped early if technical issues arise.
