Sanjay N Jain, Tanvi Modi, Ravi U VarmaIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(4):482-492 Respiratory distress is one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Factors such as gestational age at birth, pulmonary maturity, and congenital factors are peculiar to this demographic.
