MRI test in newborns with breathing problems (BPD)
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a baby who was in the NICU (newborn intensive care unit) and is being treated for BPD (a long-term breathing condition)
- Be able to safely have an MRI scan based on the hospital’s standard MRI safety rules
- Do not be on ECMO (a heart/lung support machine)
- No known or suspected birth conditions or genetic problems that could affect lung development (example: congenital diaphragmatic hernia)
- No signs of a current breathing infection at the time of the scan (a cold may allow rescheduling)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at babies born very early who have severe lung disease (grade 3 BPD) and still need a breathing machine. Researchers will use tests to understand their lung problems better, which may help guide their care.
This trial studies a breathing measurement test (forced oscillometry) in babies who were born early and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a long-term lung condition. It may help doctors better understand how babies’ lungs are working and guide future care.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs to see if doctors can predict which very premature babies will develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)—a chronic lung condition common in extremely premature infants. The goal is to identify at-risk babies early so they can receive targeted treatment.
This study uses a noninvasive scan that measures electrical signals across the chest to better understand breathing and heart-related circulation problems. It may help doctors learn what to monitor and how conditions like lung/airway pressure and vessel narrowing progress.
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.
This trial uses a special MRI breathing scan (with a safe, trace gas) to look at how babies’ lungs are developing. It may help doctors understand lung function and recovery in NICU infants.
