To assess airway and lung parenchymal damage non-invasively in cystic fibrosis (CF), chest
MRI has been historically out of the scope of routine clinical imaging due to technical …

Lung involvement in cystic fibrosis (CF) disease continues to be a major life-limiting factor of
this autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Efforts made toward early diagnosis and …

Purpose To test quantitative functional lung MRI techniques in young adults with cystic
fibrosis (CF) compared to healthy volunteers and to monitor immediate treatment effects of a …

MRI is sensitive to detect hallmarks of cystic fibrosis lung disease such as bronchial wall
thickening, bronchiectasis, mucus plugging and abnormal lung perfusion. A morpho …

Pulmonary MRI can now provide high‐resolution images that are sensitive to early disease
and specific to inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. With specificity and function …

Objective To evaluate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is effective as computed
tomography (CT) in determining morphologic and functional pulmonary changes in patients …

Monitoring of pulmonary physiology is fundamental to the clinical management of patients
with Cystic Fibrosis. The current standard clinical practise uses spirometry to assess lung …

Progressive lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) is the life-limiting factor of this autosomal
recessive genetic disorder. Increasing implementation of CF newborn screening allows for a …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide regional information about lung structural
changes in cystic fibrosis (CF), albeit at lower spatial and temporal resolution than computed …

With the introduction of parallel imaging, basic sequences could be adopted from abdominal
MRI and adjusted to the requirements of lung imaging. Depending on patient age and …
