Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children is Hawaiʻi’s leader in pediatric and women’s health. Our Imaging Department specializes in diagnostic services for newborns, children and teens, while also providing general imaging for select adult studies. We combine state-of-the-art technology with a compassionate, family centered approach to ensure accurate results in a safe, supportive environment.

Our department provides a full range of imaging modalities:

• X‑Ray (Radiography): Quick, low‑dose exams that capture detailed images of bones, chest, and other body structures. We are uniquely equipped to provide specialty pediatric imaging.
• Fluoroscopy: Real‑time imaging that allows physicians to observe movement inside the body, such as swallowing studies or gastrointestinal exams.
• CT (Computed Tomography): Advanced cross sectional imaging. We use pediatric‑specific protocols to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring clear results.
• Ultrasound: Safe, radiation free imaging for soft tissues and organs.
• Echocardiography (Echo): Specialized ultrasound of the heart.
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Detailed imaging using magnetic fields, with child friendly protocols and sedation options when needed. Our staff are highly specialized in pediatric and breast MRI.
• Nuclear Medicine: Functional imaging using small amounts of radiotracers to evaluate organ function and detect disease.

Pali Momi Medical Center is a leader in innovation and patient-centered care. As the first in West Oʻahu to introduce a permanent MRI, a 320-slice CT scanner, and a cardiac catheterization program, we continue to set the standard for advanced diagnostic and interventional services. We offer state-of-the-art technology for accurate, timely diagnosis, maintain radiation doses well below national standards for patient safety, and provide convenient scheduling—including early mornings and weekends—all within a comfortable, patient-focused environment.

The center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to serve patients across the inpatient, outpatient, and emergency settings.

The spectral-detector CT scanner produces comprehensive images for patients of all ages, including children, and with a range of medical needs, such as bariatrics. The machine generates high-quality, exceptionally clear images with faster setup times and shorter exam times. This results in a lower dose of radiation as well as a more comfortable overall experience.

The 320-slice CT scanner offers advanced imagery full-body scanning in a single rotation of the X-ray tube. This faster scan time is helpful for patients who have a hard time staying still for extended periods.

Advanced features of the CT scanners at Wilcox help medical teams detect, diagnose and monitor both common and chronic diseases, disorders and conditions, including cancer, heart disease and bone fractures.

Imaging services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other services offered include X-ray; Ultrasound; Mammography; MRI; Nuclear Medicine and limited interventional radiologic procedures. Board-certified physician radiologists provide quality care and timely interpretation of radiographic procedures.

Services are by referral from a patient’s primary care physician, who will use these internal images of the body to assist with diagnosis and treatment.
