Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common lethal genetic disorder. The aim of this study
was to determine the common chest radiograph (CXR) patterns in adult CF, and correlate
disease distribution on CXRs with genotype, age, and gender. Methods One hundred nine
CF patients treated at Baylor Adult Cystic Fibrosis Center were identified. The intake CXR
was reviewed and characterized as diffuse bilateral (DB), unilateral, upper lobe (UL), and
lower lobe (LL) disease, or relatively normal. Lack of intake CXR, and/or genotype excluded …
