Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease starts in the first months of life and remains one of the most
common fatal hereditary diseases. Early therapeutic interventions may provide an …

Objectives The study aimed to validate automated quantification of high and low signal
intensity volumes using ultrashort echo-time MRI, with CT and pulmonary function test (PFT) …

Objectives To evaluate the applicability of a semiquantitative MRI scoring system (MR-CF-S)
as a prognostic marker for clinical course of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Methods This …

Background There is a clinical need for imaging‐derived biomarkers for the management of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Observed pulmonary T1 (T1 (TE)) depends …

Background The aim of this study was to assess within‐breath respiratory system
impedance by the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and …

Purpose To introduce a reproducible, nonenhanced 1H MRI method for rapid in vivo
functional assessment of the whole lung at 1.5 Tesla (T). Methods At different respiratory …

Since the finding and correction of an error in previous spiroware software versions
commonly used with the Exhalyzer D for multiple-breath washout (MBW) analysis, there has …

Background Two functional measurements (multiple breath washout [MBW] and
hyperpolarized 129 Xe ventilation magnetic resonance imaging [129 Xe MRI]) have been …

Differences in regional lung function between the 3rd and 5th intercostal space (ICS) were
explored in 10 cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and compared to 10 lung-healthy controls by …

Background Assessment tools for early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease are limited.
Detecting early pulmonary disease is crucial to increasing life expectancy by starting …
