As part of Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute, we offer prevention-focused mammogram services as well as world-class breast cancer care for women of all stages of life.

An echocardiogram is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess the heart's function and structures. During the procedure, a transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed on the chest at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart and blood vessel tissues, where the waves bounce or "echo" off of the structures. These sound waves are sent to a computer that can create moving images of the heart walls, blood vessels and valves.

An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms and legs. When the electrodes are connected to the electrocardiogram machine by wires, the electrical activity of your heart is measured, interpreted and printed out for the doctor's information and further interpretation.

The Holter monitor is a type of portable electrocardiogram (ECG). It records the electrical activity of the heart continuously over 24 hours or longer while you are away from the doctor's office.

Laboratory tests use blood, urine or other samples to understand what is happening inside your body or if treatments that have been prescribed to you are working. Tests can check for blood glucose (sugar) levels, liver or kidney function, hormone function, the flu and more. Lab tests are ordered by your physician or advanced practice clinician when needed.

Our Breast Health Services program gives you easy access to the most advanced breast cancer screening technologies, including 3D mammograms. Our commitment to delivering exceptional care includes accurate testing and immediate support from a nurse navigator for any abnormal findings.

From accidents to total joint replacements, damage to your bones and joints can prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest. Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) helps you get moving again with customized orthopedic rehabilitation programs offered at multiple locations across the region.

The stages of sleep range from light to deep. Each stage has characteristics that can be measured. A sleep study is a number of tests done at the same time during sleep. The tests measure specific sleep characteristics and help to diagnose sleep disorders. A sleep study may also be called polysomnogram.

Ultrasound imaging is a test that uses sound waves to make detailed pictures of your organs.

Vascular studies are tests that check the blood flow in your arteries and veins. Vascular studies use high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to measure the amount of blood flow in your blood vessels. A small handheld probe (transducer) is pressed against your skin.
