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

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

Background There is a paucity of studies comparing asthma and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD) based on thoracic quantitative computed tomographic (QCT) …

Background Airway remodelling in bronchial asthma (BA) and COPD has been
quantitatively assessed by analysing the airway wall area and the luminal area on cross …

Background: The structural changes in the airways of asthmatics are also referred to as
remodeling and can be identified using high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) …

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

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 …

Airway remodeling is an established feature of asthma. Histologic examination is essential
in the assessment of remodeling that is a pathologic concept. Examinations of autopsied or …

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

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