Inclusion Criteria

1. secured cystic fibrosis
2. scheduled or emergent CT examinations are presented.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Is the information obtained with electrical impedance tomography comparable to that obtained with computer tomography in respect of cystic fibrosis assessment?

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Can additional information about lung function of the patients be obtained through the dynamic components of electrical impedance tomography analysis? Would this finding lead to a more accurate and robust description of patients’ condition during disease progression?
