MRI vs. CT: a safer way to track cystic fibrosis lung health?

NCT ID NCT03357562

First seen May 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looked at whether MRI scans can detect changes in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis as well as CT scans do. CT scans use radiation, so finding a reliable alternative like MRI could mean safer monitoring over time. The study included 212 patients aged 8 and older, but it was stopped early, so results are limited.
