Assessment of remodeling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using imaging methods

While spirometry plays a key role in diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), imaging methods including endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and chest computed tomography (CT) appear to be useful for investigating structural changes in the lungs.The aim of this study was to evaluate remodeling in COPD patients using EBUS and chest CT.The study included 33 patients with COPD, 15 patients with severe asthma, and 15 control subjects.
