MRI
Lung MRI
- Lung MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. It demonstrates structural and perfusion abnormalities in children and young people with cystic fibrosis.
- Because of MRI absence of ionising radiation and possibility for obtaining functional information, it is helpful for assessing lung disease in children who require repetitive imaging for long-term follow-up.[1]
Abdomen MRI
- In cystic fibrosis the sensitivity of MR imaging in presenting pancreatic abnormality is 94%.[2]
