Can I ask whether anyone has had a CT scan for their asthma? My consultant has booked me in for one in two weeks time because of continuous chest infectons, but I have not heard of anyone with asthma this type of test. I have also had bloods, phlegm and x-ray tests.
If you have had a ct scan, can I ask what it showed.
I've had quite a few chest CT scans, the only thing mine have ever showed is varying degrees of inflammation.
Hope it goes okay.
I have had a CT scan before it is nothing to worry about it is used to get a detailed look at your lungs and can help with alternative diagnosis and treatment plans.
I have had one...it showed not a lot at all, just ruled out lots of other things. It was fine though.
Had a scan also to rule out any other probs like scars etc.came back ok. Had heart scan also xxx
My 2yr old daughter has had a ct scan for her asthma too. Again, to rule out things. Was just to make sure the structure was ok within the lungs. It showed inflammation.
Hope yours goes well.
Mine showed inflamation and bronchiectasis. - it was fine though, just lie down and beathe in and out when it tells you to. good luck!

Hi
Thanks to everyone who replied. I guess it must be more common than I thought.
