Radiography quickly produces detailed images of internal structures using radiation, essential for diagnosing bone, lung, and abdominal diseases. The KDH radiology department features advanced imaging technology that delivers accurate digital images rapidly. This technology provides clearer images with lower radiation doses and quicker results, all in a comfortable and compassionate environment.
Radiography (X-RAY)
Computed Tomography (CT), formerly known as "CAT" scan uses X-rays to create detailed images of the body. It then uses computer software to create cross-sectional images of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues inside the body. Our CT scanner at KDH is one of the lowest radiation dose machines available and produces high-quality images for a more accurate diagnosis of internal abnormalities within seconds.

Ultrasound imaging is a common diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images (sonograms) of organs, tissues, or blood flow inside the body. A transducer emits sound waves that bounce off internal structures and are converted into electric impulses to create images displayed on a computer monitor. Preparation for each exam varies and will be explained upon scheduling.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and computer- generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in your body. KDH offers a mobile MRI unit that features a 70cm wide bore for increased comfort and incorporates noise-reducing technology to maintain ambient noise levels. Customizable sound and lighting, including skylights, and an integrated music system help reduce claustrophobia to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Bone Densitometry measures bone mineral density using a small dose of radiation to help diagnose osteoporosis, a condition where calcium loss makes bones fragile and prone to fractures. It is recommended for women over 65 and men over 70.
Bone Densitometry (DEXA)
All imaging exams are sent to a Radiologist for interpretation and are electronically stored and transmitted via a digital Picture Archiving Computer System. A dictated report will be available to your provider within 24-48 hours. Patients may obtain copies of their medical records by completing a valid HIPAA authorization and a medical record release form. If you need copies of your images, inform the technologist, and images along with your dictated report can be transferred to a disc.
