[18F]FDG PET/MR to assess disease extension and inflammation in children and young adults with primary ciliary dyskinesia
PET/MR proved to be accurate in evaluating disease extent in PCD. It enabled the simultaneous assessment of structural damage and lung inflammation, both of which resulted inversely related to lung function. PET/MR is a promising tool for PCD monitoring.
