Fetal lung MRI hopes to spot breathing trouble before birth
NCT ID NCT04186039
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study was designed to see if a special MRI technique (BOLD) could measure how well fetal lungs work in babies with diaphragmatic hernia or abdominal wall defects. Researchers planned to scan the lungs while the mother breathed normal air and then oxygen, looking for changes that might predict breathing problems after birth. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
