Lung disease in premature neonates: impact of new treatments and technologies

Advances in perinatal medicine and neonatology have dramatically changed clinical outcomes for premature neonates and have ushered in a new era of radiological complexity. "Portable" chest radiographs continue to be the mainstay in diagnostic imaging of fragile newborns, but radiologists may be confronted with new and unexpected radiological expressions of once-familiar disease processes. Familiarity with the radiological impact of emerging treatments in premature neonates is essential for accurate film interpretation.
