Correlation study on airway wall thickness with lung function and severity in patients with bronchial asthma assessed by high-resolution CT

Abstract
Objective To assess the relationship between airway wall thickness with lung function and severity by high resolution CT(HRCT).Methods HRCT were performed in 35 asthmatic patients,13 patients with mild asthma,12 patients with moderate asthma,10 patients with severe asthma and 20 healthy subjects.Measurement of total airway diameter(D)and lumen diameter(L)then calculated the airway wall thickness(T)and wall thickness to airway diameter...
