The aim of this pilot study was to obtain information on the value of MRI in the follow‐up of atelectasis and pneumonic infiltrates in cystic fibrosis (CF). Six patients aged 5–15 y were initially examined using chest X‐ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both methods provided identical information. During follow‐up, MRI proved suitable to monitor pulmonary complications. Conclusion: MRI of the lung is feasible and valuable in the follow‐up of atelectasis and pulmonary infiltrates in CF.
