Objective To summarize the chest imaging features of cystic fibrosis, deepen the learning of the disease to achieve early diagnosis and timely treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and CT images of 9 patients who had been admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2012 to November 2016 due to CF. Results Among the 9 patients, the lesions were diffuse and all the cases affected bilaterally. The most common CT findings from the 9 patients were bronchiectasis except one little boy with bronchial wall thickening. In CF, bilateral columnar bronchiectasis with disease predominant in the upper lobe is routinely noted. The visibility of mucous plugging the bronchioles within 2cm of pleural surface, followed by mosaic perfusion, air trapping, emphysema, atelectasis and consolidation. Conclusion CF usually is misdiagnosed, and it shows some imaging characteristics. Clinicians should take CF into consideration when young patients had recurrent pulmonary infection.
