Цель КИ

Many people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are troubled by symptoms from their stomach and bowels: their gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Symptoms affect quality of life and can also reduce people's ability to digest enough calories to remain healthy, leaving them undernourished and less able to deal with other health problems such as infection. Clinical tests to assess bowel function are limited. Many tests involve inserting a sensor or camera into the bowel, so they are not suitable for long periods, and can be uncomfortable. In Nottingham the investigators have developed imaging scans which can assess how someone's digestion works without any invasive device. The type of scanning the investigators use is called Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI. The purpose of this study is to see if those scanning methods can be used in people with CF to understand their digestion and any problems they have.
