The Chest Roentgenogram in Cystic Fibrosis: A New Scoring System

Dana Brasfield M.D.1, Guy Hicks M.D.1, Seng-jaw Soong Ph.D.1, and Ralph E. Tiller M.D.1

A roentgenogram scoring system is presented that is useful in the evaluation and follow-up of patients with cystic fibrosis. The system has been shown to be reproducible by and between observers and to correlate significantly with results of pulmonary function tests, Shwachman-Kulczycki scores, and, in a short-term evaluation, morbidity.
