Controlled Ventilation CT in CF Infants

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Cystic Fibrosis

In brief

The objective of the study is to implement a new method of performing chest CT imaging in young children with cystic fibrosis at Packard Children's Hospital. This technique will be used to evaluate early lung disease comparing quantitative chest CT air trapping and airway measurements with lung function measurements in infants, toddlers, and young children with chronic lung disease.
