%pred, and global MRI score suggest that 3D PREFUL MRI is sensitive to measure improved regional ventilation of the lung parenchyma due to reduced inflammation induced by ETI therapy in CF patients. • 3D PREFUL MRI-derived improved ventilation volume (IVV) correlated with MRI mucus plugging score changes suggesting that reduced endobronchial mucus is predominantly responsible for regional ventilation improvement 8-16 weeks after ETI therapy.
