Abstract Bronchial asthma is considered one of the most common chest diseases causing recurrent wheezes. With the new advances in computed tomography machines, it is now possible to understand the underlying pathophysiologic changes affecting the airways of the asthmatic patients. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) plays an important role in assessing the patient’s response to treatment. MSCT is used also for identification of causes of failure to respond to asthma medications which include complicated asthma and presence of conditions that may be confused with asthma.
