A CT scan of acute bronchospasm is shown during a CT-guided lung intervention. Dynamic or sequential CT imaging can depict and perhaps even quantify acute reversible bronchospasm, and could potentially play a role in better understanding pharmacologic interventions for reactive airways and the resulting effects.Keywords: acute bronchospasm, dynamic CT, albuterol, physiological response, noninvasive %U http://www.dovepress.com/acute-bronchospasm-and-resolution-captured-on-dynamic-ct-a11399
