[Radiologic evaluation of bronchial asthma (author's transl)]. 1979

M Zompatori, and G Gavelli, and V Piloni, and M Schiavina, and F Fiorentini, and C Sturani

The physiopathologic and anatomic findings of bronchial asthma are shortly reviewed. A description follows of the radiologic patterns based on personal experience. Only seldom the radiologic investigations provide the possibility to reach the correct diagnosis of bronchial asthma. But they always complete the clinical evaluation and allow the demonstration of the numerous and frequent complications which influence the evolution and prognosis of the disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011654 Pulmonary Edema Excessive accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung, an indication of a serious underlying disease or disorder. Pulmonary edema prevents efficient PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE in the PULMONARY ALVEOLI, and can be life-threatening.

D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall. Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions.

D001249 Asthma A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL). Asthma, Bronchial,Bronchial Asthma,Asthmas
