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.
- MRI may be helpful in determining the cause of linear lung markings in cystic fibrosis. It is also helpful in differentiating mucous plugging and peribronchial thickening from normal pulmonary blood vessels.
- 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 follow up imaging for a long time.[1][2]
Abdomen MRI
- In cystic fibrosis the sensitivity of MR imaging in presenting pancreatic abnormality is 94%.[3]
