Service

Arteriogram

An X-ray of the arteries and veins to detect blockage or narrowing of the vessels. During an arteriogram, a small incision is made in the groin. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is then inserted into a blood vessel. Once the catheter is in place, a small amount of dye is injected in the artery. The dye allows the blood vessel to be seen on X-rays. After a series of X-rays are taken, the catheter is removed.

Coronary CTA

Computed tomography (CT) angiography is a type of medical test that combines a CT scan with an injection of a special dye to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a part of your body. The dye is injected through an intravenous (IV) line started in your arm or hand.
Service

CT (Computed Tomography) Scan

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.
Service

Fluoroscopy and Urinary Tract Exams

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.
Service

Lung Cancer Screening

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.
Service

Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure. Nuclear medicine imaging is a combination of many different disciplines.
Service

Ultrasound

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

Vascular Studies

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.
