RESUMEN
The purpose of this review is to describe the current state of the art in clinical imaging for NICU patients, divided into major areas that correspond to likely phenotypes of neonatal respiratory disease: airway abnormalities, parenchymal disease, and pulmonary vascular disease. All common imaging modalities (ultrasound, X-ray, CT, and MRI) are discussed, with an emphasis on modalities that are most relevant to the individual underlying aspects of disease. Some promising aspects of dynamic and functional imaging are included, where there may be future clinical applicability.

The indications and utility of flexible bronchoscopy have expanded over the past few decades with major innovations in design and development of new tools for endobronchial interventions and image-guided tissue sampling techniques. This review highlights the application of advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy (including endobronchial ultrasound and CT navigational techniques), cryotherapy and the use of one-way endobronchial valves for persistent air leak in the pediatric setting.
