Matrix Pencil MRI in cystic fibrosis is a sensitive and promising technique to monitor progression of lung disease, and is especially well-suited for children. In this work, we investigate the agreement between changes in functional lung MRI and in lung function tests during a 1-year follow-up period. We demonstrate the benefit of imaging to interpret changes in lung function correctly.
