New imaging technique may predict lung problems in premature babies
NCT ID NCT07265583
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether special imaging tests can help predict a serious lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature babies. Researchers will use electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and lung ultrasound to check how air moves in the lungs of 104 preterm infants. The goal is to find early signs of lung trouble so doctors can adjust breathing support sooner.
