Funded Activity Summary

Lung imaging is an important part of the clinical care of young patients with respiratory disease. However, the most used method at the moment is computed tomography (CT), which exposes the patient to radiation. One potential radiation-free alternative to CT is lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This project will investigate how well lung MRI performs clinically in two important childhood diseases: cystic fibrosis, and preterm birth.
