文摘
- •
Bronchial wall thickness (BWT) may be reliably assessed not only in HRCT, but in EBUS as well.
- •
This is the first study to assess the utility of EBUS in BWT measurements in mild-to-moderate asthma and COPD patients.
- •
There are no differences between the BWT of the segmental bronchi in mild-to-moderate asthma and COPD.
- •
Only EBUS measurements could demonstrate the higher BWT in mild-to moderate asthma and COPD compared to controls.
- •
EBUS seems to be a more sensitive method to study bronchial wall thickness than HRCT.
