Overview
There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
CT scan
Chest
Mosaic attenuation (localized hyperinflation due to small airway obstruction) on expiratory chest computed tomography (CT) is common in early life cystic fibrosis and often referred to as "air trapping".[1]
- Bronchiectasis
- Mucous plugging
Abdomen
CT scan of abdomen in patients with cystic fibrosis may include these findings:[2][3]
- Diffuse and complete fatty replacement of pancreas is the most common imaging appearance.
- Fibrosis of the pancreas can be detectable on CT scan.
- Intestinal findings on CT may include obstruction (more common in children).
Images
CT demonstrates mucous plugging and complete pancreatic atrophy[4]
