New MRI study aims to unlock secrets of preterm baby lung development
NCT ID NCT03657693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses MRI scans to learn how lungs grow and develop in both full-term and extremely preterm babies, especially those with a breathing problem called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Researchers want to better understand how prematurity affects lung structure and function. About 160 babies will be scanned while breathing naturally, without sedation.
