Bronchial Measurements in Patients with Asthma: Comparison of Quantitative Thin-Section CT Findings with Those in Healthy Subjects and Correlation with Pathologic Findings

Axial reconstructions with orthogonal measurements along the airways enabled by three-dimensional segmentation methods are able to demonstrate significant changes in bronchial morphometry, predicting airflow limitation in asthma, and may have a role in the noninvasive measurement of airway remodeling.
