. Evaluation of Emphysema in Patients • with Reversible Airway Obstruction Using High-Resolution CT
Manal Shaker El-Hussini;
Abstract
This study was carried out on 30 asthmatic patients. All underwent pulmonary function tests to ensure reversibility of airways after bronchodilator inhalation, salbutamol. Then all
patients were subjected to corticosteroid treatment for 2
weeks. Pulmonary function tests were repeated-
complete remission of the attack.
to ensure
High-resolution computed tomography HRCT was performed to evaluate the presence of emphysema. Expiratory CT is done for 20 patients to detect minor degrees of emphysema. Only 2 patients were detected to have emphysema.
