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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * any term age NICU patient Exclusion Criteria: * \- ECMO, * Evidence of congenital diseases that may affect lung development, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, * Suspected muscular dystrophy or neurologic disorder that may affect lung development. * Significant genetic or chromosomal abnormalities that may affect lung development * Evidence of any respiratory infection at the time of imaging (imaging may be rescheduled for a common viral infection such as a cold). * Standard MRI exclusion criteria as set forth by the CCHMC Department of Radiology. This includes any contraindications from tracheostomy tubes that are not MR compatible.
