<b>Balancing PEEP settings in mechanically ventilated premature infants to maximize air exchange while minimizing barotrauma is typically evaluated using bronchography. A 4D dynamic airway computerized tomography protocol (4D CT) was developed as a less invasive method to evaluate large and small airways collapse at variable PEEP settings. Our purpose was to evaluate the radiation dose from 4D CT and to demonstrate the number of cycles impact on the radiation dose. </b>
