From: Ultra-high-resolution computed tomography shows changes in the lungs related with airway hyperresponsiveness in a murine asthma model

Figure 6

Correlation between imaging parameters. (A) In mouse 1, serial changes of Penh, bronchial diameter and bronchial area up to 10 h after OVA challenge. (B) Correlation between Penh and bronchial diameter. (C) In mouse 1, serial changes of bronchial area and lung histogram after OVA challenge. (D) Correlation between bronchial area and lung histogram. Penh was well correlated with diameter and area. Reduced airflow is correlated with wider bronchial diameter. Bronchial area was negatively correlated with lung histogram. These changes in proximal airway are also closely correlated with air trapping in periphery.
