Show: (January 23, 2023)

diagnosis-of-idiopathic-pulmonary-fibrosis-ipfIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of the common forms of interstitial lung disease (those that affect the tissues between airways); it results in scarring and fibroblasts. Early diagnosis is critical to the management of this dangerous condition. Carla Copeland, MD, explains the challenge of diagnosing IPF due to its generic symptoms, which usually indicate more common breathing issues. She discusses recent innovations in how CT scans are categorized to better diagnose IPF and to help recommend patients for biopsies. Learn why Dr. Copeland works with a multidisciplinary discussion team (MDT) to diagnose this condition accurately and to begin treatment as soon as possible.
