Doctors scan tiny lungs to solve breathing mystery in preemies

NCT ID NCT03657693

Summary

This study aims to better understand how lungs grow and develop in premature babies, especially those with a breathing disorder called BPD. Researchers will use MRI scans (up to three times) on 160 babies in the NICU to take detailed pictures of their lungs and airways. The goal is to learn how lung structure relates to breathing problems, which could help improve future care for premature infants.
