Multidetector row computed tomography to assess changes in airways linked to asthma control.

Background: In asthma, multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) detects abnormalities that are related to disease severity, including increased bronchial wall thickness. However, whether these abnormalities could be related to asthma control has not been investigated yet.

Objective: Our goal was to determine which changes in airways could be linked to disease control.
