Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Pediatric radiologists are frequently called upon to render interpretations of chest radiographs performed on premature infants with chronic respiratory problems. After the acute phase of surfactant deficiency (respiratory distress syndrome), infants with persistent respiratory problems are loosely categorized by clinicians as evolving toward a broad, rather vague entity called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or chronic lung disease (CLD). This review aims to update the radiologist on how the characteristics of the disease have shifted and how management, diagnosis and pathology have changed since the disorder was first described more than 40 years ago. The radiologist armed with this information might be better prepared to provide insightful reporting and address the needs of the neonatologist.
