Diagnostic chest imaging to evaluate pulmonary symptoms and conditions
About This Service
When symptoms such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or abnormal findings warrant further investigation, Dr. Hsieh will refer you for the appropriate imaging studies. This may include chest X-rays, CT scans of the chest, or other specialized imaging. We coordinate with local imaging centers to ensure timely scheduling and will review all results with you to determine the next steps in your care.
Who Should Consider This Service
Patients with persistent cough lasting more than 8 weeks, unexplained shortness of breath, fluid on the lungs, recent or recurrent pneumonia, abnormal chest X-ray findings, or those who need follow-up imaging for known pulmonary conditions. Imaging helps identify the underlying cause of symptoms when a physical exam and initial testing are not sufficient for diagnosis. Imaging referrals are also appropriate for evaluating post-COVID lung changes.
