Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) is pleased to announce that its new general x-ray machine is operational. The state-of-the-art diagnostic tool saw its first patient on Wednesday, November 20.

“The installation of our new x-ray machine marks a significant milestone in the modernization of our Diagnostic Imaging department at KDH,” said the hospital’s CEO, Frank J. Vassallo. “This is just the first step in our commitment to enhancing diagnostic capabilities for our community. Next up is the CT scanner, which has been made possible thanks to the tireless efforts of our Foundation and the incredible support of our donors. Together, we are building a stronger future for patient care.”

The new machine – a GE HealthCare 656 HD Gen 6 – replaces the former x-ray, which reached its end of life. The new equipment produces high quality images owing to enhanced technologist features, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities. 

“Our patients will benefit from having this new x-ray machine at KDH for years to come,” added Vassallo. “KDH is committed to providing our team with the best tools, so they can in turn provide the best care.”

The new x-ray will also improve technologist workflow for Diagnostic Imaging (DI) by enhancing efficiency through its advanced features. 

“We’ll be able to serve more patients because features on the new machine speed up and enhance x-ray examinations,” explained Karen Finner, DI Team Lead at KDH. “It’s a great addition to our department and the community as a whole.”

KDH has two x-ray machines in operation and continues to offer ultrasound, mammography, bone density and echocardiograms testing for patients.
