Global and regional lung function in cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) delivers information about global and regional ventilation. Linearity of EIT during tidal breathing is known. We investigated the feasibility of EIT during lung function tests in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and healthy controls.
