X Ray
- In cystic fibrosis chest radiographs may be normal early in life.
- Findings on an chest x ray suggestive of cystic fibrosis include:
- The chest radiographic features overlap with many other disorders, particularly those characterized by inflammatory or destructive changes of the airways.
- Hyperinflation due to mucus plugging of small bronchioles is the earlist radiographic sign of cystic fibrosis in infants and children.
- Atelectasis (especially in right upper lobe) is common in infancy.
