Radiology at Lehigh Valley Hospital-17th Street

A computed tomography scan, or CT scan, is a type of X-ray that uses a computer to make cross-sectional images of your body. The dye injected to perform CT angiography is called a contrast material because it "lights up" blood vessels and tissues that are being studied.

Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures. It’s much like an X-ray "movie" and is often done while a contrast dye moves through the part of the body being examined. A continuous X-ray beam is passed through the body part and sent to a video monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail. Call 888-402-LVHN to schedule an appointment.

Lung cancer screenings help us catch the early signs of lung cancer (lung nodules) using a safe, low-dose imaging test. Our nationally recognized program offers more of the services you need in one program, including support to quit smoking and access to experienced lung cancer specialists.

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.
