Lucy E. Modahl, MD

As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to leveraging the power of imaging to ensure accurate and timely diagnoses. My passion for radiology stems from the intricate problem-solving it requires—using images, patient symptoms, medical history, and laboratory findings to pinpoint the most likely diagnosis. I thrive in the collaborative nature of radiology, working closely with referring clinicians and fellow radiologists to fine-tune diagnoses and promote continuous learning.

I specialize in a wide range of imaging techniques, including those focused on lung and liver conditions, as well as oncology. With over 20 years in practice, my expertise spans various settings, from academic urban hospitals to rural hospitals, and includes international experience in New Zealand. This diverse background allows me to bring both breadth and depth to my clinical practice, ensuring comprehensive care for my patients.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement, participating in research and educational endeavors alongside my clinical work. I often work swing shifts and weekends, providing support to radiologist trainees, junior house staff, and fellows. I am always available to discuss protocols, review cases, and expedite reads, ensuring that every patient receives the most effective treatment with the least invasive steps possible.

My journey into radiology began with a recognition of the critical role imaging plays in patient care. Inspired by the collaborative and problem-solving aspects of the field, I pursued a career that allows me to make a significant impact on patient outcomes. I am proud to be part of the NYU Langone community, where I can continue to provide high-quality, coordinated care for many years to come.
