Willingness to adhere to the study-visit schedule and other protocol requirements. 3. Ages 6-8 years old at baseline MRI visit (may be enrolled up to 60 days before 6th birthday). 4. Documentation of CF diagnosis as evidenced by one or more clinical features consistent with the CF phenotype and one or more of the following criteria: 1.

Ability to cooperate with MRI procedures Exclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals currently on ivacaftor therapy (including Kalydeco, Orkambi, and Symdeko) and with at least one gating mutation. Gating mutations include G551D, G178R, S549N, S549R, G551S, G970R, G1244E, S1251N, S1255P, or G1349D. 2. Acute respiratory symptoms (e.g. wheezing) at the time of the MRI. 3.
