This interactive session, based on clinical cases, will help master the diagnostic approach to mediastinal masses with a compartmental approach: prevascular, visceral, and paravertebral. The analysis of attenuation features, particularly the presence of fat, along with clinical data such as symptoms and characteristics of individuals, helps to best approach the different aetiologies and propose a management strategy.
