Chest computed tomography (CT) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) is sensitive in detecting early airways disease. The pressure‐controlled CT‐protocol combines a total lung capacity scan (TLC PC‐CT) with a near functional residual capacity scan (FRC PC‐CT) under general anesthesia, while another CT‐protocol is acquired during free breathing (FB‐CT) near functional residual capacity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity in detecting airways disease of both protocols in two cohorts.
