The learner will be able to
1. Distinguish the various types of congenital lung malformations (CLMs).
2. Understand the pathologic differences among CLMs as described and revised by Langston in 2003.
3. Correlate pathologic features with key distinguishing fetal and neonatal imaging features among CLMs.
4. Understand the role of fetal imaging in prenatal work-up, treatment, delivery planning, and postnatal surgical management of CLMs.
New Pathologic Concepts in Congenital Lung Malformation (Langston)
