To monitor the course of lung damage in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) using the different chest X-ray and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scoring systems that have been developed. The HRCT technique is more sensitive than chest radiography to evaluate the anatomy. However, in paediatric patients, the use of CT should be kept to a minimum, and guidelines for radiation protection and dose reduction should be applied. One of the most used classification systems for HRCT is the one proposed by Bhalla in 1991, which helps in the assessment of the severity and course of the disease in these patients depending on the different imaging findings. We present various examples of these criteria for HRCT, observed while reviewing a group of 48 paediatric patients.
使用已开发的不同胸部X线和高分辨率计算机断层扫描（HRCT）评分系统来监测囊性纤维化（CF）患者的肺损伤进程。HRCT技术在评估解剖结构方面比胸部X线摄影更敏感。然而，在儿科患者中，CT的使用应尽量减少，并应应用辐射防护和剂量减少指南。HRCT最常用的分类系统之一是1991年由巴拉拉提出的，该系统有助于根据不同的影像学表现评估这些患者疾病的严重程度和进程。我们展示了在回顾一组48例儿科患者时观察到的这些HRCT标准的各种实例。
