Cathy S. Tyma, MD

As a dedicated radiologist at NYU Langone Health, I have always been passionate about using my strong visual skills to find patterns in images, making radiology a natural fit for me. With over 40 years of experience, I have had the privilege of helping countless patients through their breast cancer journeys. My commitment to early detection and accurate diagnosis has been a driving force throughout my career, and I find immense satisfaction in discovering breast cancers at an early and curable stage.

My primary focus has been on breast cancer diagnosis, a specialty I was inspired to pursue due to my own strong family history, including my mother's diagnosis during my time in medical school. This personal connection has fueled my dedication to this field, and I have spent my career honing my expertise.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that my patients receive the highest standard of care. Although I have recently retired from direct patient care, I continue to contribute to the field by reading screening mammography, helping to detect breast cancer early and improve patient outcomes.

My journey into radiology began with a fascination for visual patterns and a desire to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives. My education and training have been instrumental in shaping my approach to patient care, and I am proud to be part of the NYU Langone Health team, where coordinated, seamless care is a top priority.
