Comparison of endobronchial ultrasound and high resolution computed tomography as tools for airway wall imaging in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Airway remodeling in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) results in bronchial wall thickening. Bronchial wall thickness (BWT) can be assessed in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS).
