First seen Nov 16, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looked at whether electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a radiation-free imaging method, can detect lung damage in children and young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Researchers compared EIT results to CT scans to see if it can spot air trapping and lung changes. The goal is to find a safer way to monitor lung health over time without repeated CT scans.
