Summary
This study tested if a safe, radiation-free device called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can detect lung damage in children and young adults with cystic fibrosis. Researchers compared EIT results to CT scans to see if it can spot air trapping and other lung problems. The goal is to find a simpler way to monitor lung health over time without repeated radiation exposure.
