Assessment of regional ventilation and perfusion is of clinical interest for better understanding of disease mechanisms and lung pathophysiology, as the primary function of the lung is gas exchange. This work aimed to assess ventilation and perfusion in patients with Cystic Fibrosis using co-registered hyperpolarised gas and dynamic contrast enhanced lung MRI.
