- Title
Update on the diagnosis and management of bronchopulmonary dysplasia/chronic lung disease of infancy: what the radiologist should know.

- 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.
