Title: Cystic fibrosis. An overview. Author: Ruzal-Shapiro C. Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1998 Jan; 36(1):143-61. PubMed ID: 9465872.

Abnormalities of the small airways result in air-trapping; bronchiectasis and mucus plugging reflect large airway disease. These radiographic findings can be assessed and followed using varying scoring systems.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
