Computed tomography (CT) is considered to be the gold standard method for the
assessment of morphological changes in the pulmonary parenchyma. Although its spatial …

Rationale and Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of 3-
tesla (3T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lungs in the detection of interstitial lung …

Background Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent
sinopulmonary infections and worsening obstructive lung disease. Kidney and brain …

Introduction In children with pneumonia, chest x-ray (CXR) is typically the first imaging
modality used for diagnostic work-up. Repeated CXR or computed tomography (CT) are …

Rationale: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by
inherited impaired mucociliary clearance leading to chronic progressive lung disease as …

With an increasing number of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) receiving highly effective
CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein) modulator therapy, particularly at a …

We hypothesized that dynamic perfluorinated gas MRI would sensitively detect mild cystic
fibrosis (CF) lung disease. This cross-sectional study enrolled 20 healthy volunteers and 24 …

Rationale: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects improvements in mucus plugging and
bronchial wall thickening, but not in lung perfusion in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) treated …

Objectives A prospective, multi-centre study to evaluate concordance of morphologic lung
MRI and CT in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotyping for airway …

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