Evaluation of Morphological and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Early Diagnosis of Lung Changes in Children (0-6 Years) With Cystic Fibrosis (CF)


Month 1-2: Protocol adaptation for infants and small children Month 3-14: Patient
examinations (20 Patients with sedation) Month 15-18: Data evaluation
