Interventions

Group 1: The participants of this study will be recruited from the center for cystic fibrosis during their scheduled clinical visits. The patients should have received low-dose CT scan in the last 24

Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Age

18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. secured cystic fibrosis 2. scheduled or emergent CT examinations are presented.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. no secured cystic fibrosis 2. pregnancy and lactation period, and any contraindication to the use of EIT (pacemaker, automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator, and implantable pumps).

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Is the information obtained with electrical impedance tomography comparable to that obtained with computer tomography in respect of cystic fibrosis assessment?	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Can additional information about lung function of the patients be obtained through the dynamic components of electrical impedance tomography analysis? Would this finding lead to a more accurate and robust description of patients’ condition during disease progression?	—
