A BREAKTHROUGH has occurred in the past week that will allow for real-time tracking of treatments for cystic fibrosis:
“At the moment we typically need to wait for a cystic fibrosis treatment to have an effect on lung health, measured by either a lung CT scan or breath measurement, to see how effective that treatment is.”
“However the new imaging method allows us for the first time to non-invasively see how the treatment is working ‘live’ on the airway surface.”
“Because we will be able to see how effectively treatments are working straight away, we’ll be able to develop new treatments a lot more quickly, and help better treat people with cystic fibrosis,”
