title: Imaging evolution of airway disorders in children.
abstract: This article discusses and illustrates the insights gained from CT imaging of the lungs in infants and young children who do not have respiratory motion and at end-inspiratory and resting end-expiratory lung volumes using noninvasive controlled ventilation CT technique. The potential role of noninvasive controlled ventilation CT in developing quantitative measures of airway disease is highlighted and clinical examples demonstrating the use of the technique are shown.
