New MRI method could track cystic fibrosis lung damage without X-Rays

This study explores whether MRI can produce clear images of the lungs and airways in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) and healthy volunteers. Researchers will use computer assistance to measure airway size and shape, and repeat the MRI two years later to see if changes occur. A small group will also have a second MRI one week later to check consistency. The goal is to develop a safe, radiation-free way to monitor CF lung disease over time.
