Chest Imaging

Clinical Services: Radiology

Expert Imaging for All Chest Conditions

The chest contains muscles, as well as many vital organs, such as the heart, lungs and thymus glands — which bolster the immune system to fight infection. There are many conditions that can damage the organs and muscles of the chest or prevent them from functioning as well as possible.

At Weill Cornell Medicine, our compassionate team of radiologists provides diagnostic imaging so that your doctors can understand your chest health and, if needed, determine the best possible treatment options. By capturing detailed images, we support you in enhancing your health and quality of life.

Individualized Care for Your Chest Condition

Using the latest technology, our team of highly trained and experienced radiologists will work with your physician to precisely screen, understand, and diagnose your specific health concern. After diagnosis, your physician will guide you through the many treatment options and techniques available for your chest conditions.

Chest Conditions

Using the latest technology, we provide imaging services for:

Incidental lung nodule surveillance: A lung nodule is a small spot on the lung. Our team provides imaging services to detect, understand, monitor and inform treatment for lung nodules.
Emphysema: A disease that involves the gradual damage of lung tissue, preventing oxygen from moving through the bloodstream and making breathing increasingly difficult.
Cystic fibrosis: A condition that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs in the body by blocking tubes and passageways with fluids like mucus, which is usually thin and slippery, but has become thick and sticky.
