Follow-up of acute pulmonary complications in cystic fibrosis by magnetic resonance imaging: a pilot study

The aim of this pilot study was to obtain information on the value of MRI in the follow-up of atelectasis and pneumonic infiltrates in cystic fibrosis (CF). Six patients aged 5-15 y were initially examined using chest X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both methods provided identical inform...

Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this pilot study was to obtain information on the value of MRI in the follow-up of atelectasis and pneumonic infiltrates in cystic fibrosis (CF). Six patients aged 5-15 y were initially examined using chest X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both methods provided identical information. During follow-up, MRI proved suitable to monitor pulmonary complications. MRI of the lung is feasible and valuable in the follow-up of atelectasis and pulmonary infiltrates in CF.
