Learn how using a combination of CT scans, bronchoscopy and the assistance of interventional radiologists can help you diagnose and differentiate fibrosing mediastinitis from other pulmonary disorders such as asthma or COPD. Also in this episode, multiple palliative modalities for fibrosing mediastinitis are discussed that can help improve the quality of life of your patient.
