The outcome for infants with fetal lung pathologies not only depends on the nature of the pathology, but the impact it has on the developing lungs. The main prognostic factor is the degree of pulmonary hypoplasia, but this is not detectable pre-natally. Imaging techniques aim to simulate these features with a variety of surrogate measurements, including lung volume and MRI signal intensity. Despite the complexity of the various research studies and lack of consistent methodology, this scoping review aims to summarise current applications, and promising techniques requiring further investigation.
