Abstract
A wide variety of chest and lung problems in neonates require imaging investigations. The main modality is chest radiography supplemented by chest/lung ultrasound, CT, MR, and sometimes fluoroscopy. The ALARA principle is indispensable when imaging this particular young and radiation sensitive age group with ionizing radiation. The chapter will present the principles of the respective imaging modalities used, discuss the imaging approach for chest and lung diseases in preterm and term neonates, and will illustrate the imaging findings with respective figures.
