Abstract

Advanced cardiorespiratory imaging of the chest with ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in diagnosing respiratory and cardiac conditions in neonates when radiography and echocardiography alone are not sufficient. This pictorial essay highlights the particularities, clinical indications and technical aspects of applying chest US, cardiac CT and cardiorespiratory MRI techniques specifically to neonates, summarising the first session of the European Society of Paediatric Radiology’s cardiothoracic task force.
