Could blood flow problems in lungs be an early sign of cystic fibrosis damage?
NCT ID NCT04467957
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study uses a new, contrast-free MRI technique to measure blood flow in the lungs of 26 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and compare it to healthy controls. The goal is to see if blood flow problems occur before or alongside the more commonly measured airway damage. By tracking these changes over six months, researchers hope to better understand how CF affects the lungs and lay the groundwork for future treatments.
