The aim of this exhibit is: 1. To review the role of imaging in diagnosis and follow-up of lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis 2. To show the acquisition protocol of low-dose CT scan and MRI sequences 3. To illustrate the imaging features of lung alterations with different modality 4. To highlight benefits and weaknesses of plain film, CT scan and MRI in imaging the lung and in displaying lung alterations

1. Introduction 2. Clinical indications (chest radiograph, CT scan and MRI) 3. Low-dose CT scan protocols and post-processing 4. MRI sequences and post-processing 5. Specific appearances of lung findings (bronchiectasis, lung consolidation, bronchial wall thickening, mucus plug, bullae, air-trapping) a. Chest radiograph b. CT c. MR
