From: Radiography, tomosynthesis, CT and MRI in the evaluation of pulmonary cystic fibrosis: an untangling review of the multitude of scoring systems

Fig. 2

A comparison of the weighting of scoring components (percentage of total score) in three radiographic scoring systems [11, 13, 18], one tomosynthesis scoring system [5], eight CT scoring systems [22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34], and one MRI scoring system [9]. The Brasfield system [11] scores bronchiectasis and mucus plugging together as “nodular cystic lesions”, and in the MRI score bronchiectasis and bronchial wall thickening are scored together. In this table these scores are divided between the two entities. “System specific score components” refer to general severity in the Brasfield score [11], and special findings and perfusion size in the MRI score [9]
