Computed tomography (CT) is the current “gold standard” for assessment of lung
morphology and is so far the most reliable imaging modality for monitoring cystic fibrosis …

Objectives: As pulmonary complications are life limiting in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF),
repeated chest imaging [chest x-ray, computed tomography (CT)] is needed for follow up …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Comparison has been made between two different spin-echo sequence MR scans and CT
scans of the lungs in 17 patients with cystic fibrosis. Scans were assessed for bronchial …

The first report of computed tomography (CT) scanning to monitor cystic fibrosis (CF)–related
lung disease was published in 1986. Further publications followed, but in general there was …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most frequent inherited disorder leading to premature death in the
Caucasian population. As life expectancy is limited by pulmonary complications, repeated …

Rationale: Studies demonstrating early structural lung damage in infants and preschool
children with cystic fibrosis (CF) suggest that noninvasive monitoring will be important to …
