We investigated how quantitative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) measures
of emphysema and airway wall thickness (AWT) vary with sex, age and smoking history. We …

Airway remodelling is a well‐established feature in asthma and chronic obstructive lung
disease (COPD), secondary to chronic airway inflammation. The structural changes found …

Novel therapeutic options in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) require delicate
patient selection and thus demand for expert radiologists visually and quantitatively …

Computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice for imaging the thorax and lung
structure. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it used to recognise the key …

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

The report will focus on studies that illustrate how high resolution computed tomography can
be used to provide new insights into airway and lung function, that cannot be obtained with …

BACKGROUND: Few studies have directly compared airway remodelling assessed by
computed tomography (CT) between asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow
limitation caused by emphysema and/or airway narrowing. Computed tomography has been …

This article provides a brief overview of the important issues influencing the effective use of
quantitative X-ray computed tomography (QCT) in the assessment of the lung parenchyma …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow
limitation caused by emphysema and small airway narrowing. Quantitative evaluation of …
