In vivo micro-CT assessment of airway remodeling in a flexible OVA-sensitized murine model of asthma.

Airway remodeling is a major pathological feature of asthma. Up to now, its quantification still requires invasive methods. In this study, we aimed at determining whether in vivo micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is able to demonstrate allergen-induced airway remodeling in a flexible mouse model...
