Summary

This study looked at how small air sacs in the lungs (called alveoli) collapse in children aged 1 to 6 during anesthesia for MRI scans. Researchers used a special imaging technique to measure these changes before and after the procedure. The goal was to better understand how anesthesia affects children's lungs and help make anesthesia safer.
