In patients with cystic fibrosis, plain chest radiographs may suggest the presence of bronchiectasis, bronchoceles, hilar adenopathy, or pulmonary arterial hypertension. We compared computed tomography (CT) with conventional chest radiography in 12 patients. CT clearly reveals the cause of increased linear markings, nodular lesions, and enlarged hila as seen on plain chest radiographs. It showed that nine patients had hilar adenopathy, five had enlarged pulmonary arteries, and 11 had bronchiectasis. Bronchoceles, a finding that may influence therapy, were seen on seven CT scans but on only four of the plain films.
在囊性纤维化患者中，普通胸部X线片可能提示存在支气管扩张、支气管囊肿、肺门淋巴结肿大或肺动脉高压。我们对12例患者的计算机断层扫描（CT）与传统胸部X线摄影进行了比较。CT能清晰显示普通胸部X线片上所见的线性标记增加、结节性病变及肺门增大的原因。结果显示，9例患者有肺门淋巴结肿大，5例有肺动脉增粗，11例有支气管扩张。支气管囊肿这一可能影响治疗的表现，在7次CT扫描中可见，但仅在4张普通胸片上可见。
