Ultrasound Assessment of BC in the NICU
The investigators will address the hypothesis in the following Specific Aims:
Specific Aim 1: Validate ultrasound as a method to measure whole body fat mass and fat free mass in healthy, premature infants. Body composition will be assessed using ultrasound measurements and the validated method of air displacement plethysmography (ADP). Stable isotope dilution techniques will be used in a subset of our population as a secondary source of validation.
Specific Aim 2: Determine whether ultrasound measurements can detect clinically relevant (weekly) changes in body composition in healthy premature infants. Ultrasound will be used to obtain serial (weekly) measurements of muscle and adipose tissue thickness (triceps, abdomen, quadriceps) until discharge in healthy, premature infants.
