McDonough District Hospital focuses on technology to offer you the best in medical imaging. Digital images are viewed using the Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) and Digital Radiography (DR) to distribute imaging information and provide a wide range of radiology services.
Radiologists located at MDH are employed by REMLO.
Diagnostic imaging is often the first exam ordered by a provider. It can visualize most parts of the body and allow for more accurate testing and diagnosis. General radiology uses a small amount of radiation to view the skull, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities. More specialized imaging such as Computed Tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy use contrast material that can either be ingested and/or injected. These contrasts better define structures such as kidneys and blood vessels, colon, stomach and more.
