Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
Chest
Mosaic attenuation (localized hyperinflation due to small airway obstruction) on expiratory chest computed tomography (CT) is common in early life cystic fibrosis and often referred to as "air trapping".[1]
- Bronchiectasis
- Mucous plugging
CT demonstrates mucous plugging and complete pancreatic atrophy[2]
Abdomen
In cystic fibrosis, diffuse and complete fatty replacement of pancreas is the most common imaging appearance. Also fibrosis of the pancreas can be detectable on CT scan.[3][4]
