BACKGROUND: Airway remodeling is a characteristic structural change that occurs
extensively in the airways of patients with asthma. The change can be evaluated by …

BACKGROUND: Airway remodeling in asthma and COPD results in bronchial wall
thickening. The thickness of the bronchial wall can be measured in high-resolution …

Background Asthma–chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is a
clinical phenotype sharing features of asthma and COPD. Multidetector row computed …

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) has been used for non-invasive quantitative
assessment of airway dimensions, potentially showing airway remodeling, in asthma …

Background: Asthma is a frequent chronic disease of the airways. In spite of the fact that
symptoms of asthma are well known, the pathogenesis has not yet been fully understood …

Asthma and COPD are the most prevalent of lung diseases and contribute an enormous
burden of morbidity in North America and globally. In both conditions, inflammation leads to …

BACKGROUND: Asthma is characterized by variable airflow obstruction and airway wall
thickening. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) is useful for the evaluation of …

INTROduCTION In asthma, airway remodeling is defined as structural changes of the
airways. The as‑sociation between remodeling and asthma severity is still unclear, and there …

Background: Airway remodeling has been recently one of the main goals in asthma
research because it has been implicated to influence airway behavior and evolution of …

Background To prospectively apply an automated, quantitative three-dimensional approach
to imaging and airway analysis to assess airway remodeling in asthma patients. Methods …
