Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to identify structural and functional physiological changes that occur with disease progression in cystic fibrosis patients. The investigators also aim to determine whether EIT can serve as an alternative for CT to identify regions of air trapping and consolidation, whether EIT can provide clinically useful information about response to treatment for an acute PE, and whether EIT can provide longitudinal information about structural changes in the lung.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1 - Healthy Controls

Persons, male or female, between the ages of 3 and 21 (inclusive) with healthy lungs, defined by no known or suspected chronic or temporary lung disease. A single study visit

No interventions assigned to this group

Cohort 2 - CF Longitudinal

Persons, male or female, with CF, defined by two known disease-causing mutations and/or a sweat chloride value of \>60mmol/L, between the ages of 3 and 21 (inclusive).

No interventions assigned to this group

Cohort 3 - CF Exacerbation

Persons, male or female, with CF, defined by two known disease-causing mutations and/or a sweat chloride value of \>60mmol/L, between the ages of 3 and 21 (inclusive), experiencing a pulmonary exacerbation requiring antibiotics.

No interventions assigned to this group
