  • Title: Cystic fibrosis. An overview.
    Author: Ruzal-Shapiro C.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1998 Jan; 36(1):143-61. PubMed ID: 9465872.
    Abstract:
    A single gene defect in cystic fibrosis results in a spectrum of clinical presentations. Though expression is variable, the radiographic appearance reflects the underlying pathophysiology. 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.
