Background— Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a recessive genetic disorder that is
characterized by sinopulmonary disease and reflects abnormal ciliary structure and function. Situs …

OBJECTIVE: To assess pulmonary abnormalities detected by high-resolution computed
tomography (HRCT) in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and mild to moderate lung …

OBJECTIVE. High-resolution CT is an important tool in the detection and management of
bronchiectasis, but there is little information about high-resolution CT findings in primary ciliary …

The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is high (approximately 13%) in
sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), but the impact on lung disease is unknown. We …

Rationale: High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has been suggested as a potential
outcome surrogate for cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. An important attribute of a valid …

Background. Outcome surrogates are indicators that reflect, rather than directly measure,
patient benefit. In order to provide useful results, however, outcome surrogates must be …

PURPOSE: To estimate the prevalence of abdominal computed tomographic (CT) findings
in sarcoidosis and to correlate these findings with those at chest radiography, clinical status, …

PURPOSE: To describe the computed tomographic (CT) appearance of nodular hepatosplenic
sarcoidosis and its association with stage with chest radiography and clinical status. …

BACKGROUND: If lungs could be retrieved from non-heart-beating donors, the critical shortage
of lungs for transplant could be alleviated. An obstacle to this approach is the inability to …

Although nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are recognized pathogens in adolescent and
adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), the role of NTM in younger CF patients is not well‐…
