In order to use the data returned by hdiutil, you need to do this ...

set imageInfo to (do shell script "hdiutil info -plist ")
tell application "System Events" to set InfoRecord to value of (make property list item with properties {text:imageInfo})

The variable InfoRecord is now an AppleScript record which you can read using AppleScript's common commands for records. … If only you knew the structure and names used in this variable.

Here is a handler I use to make a new plist file ...

on makeNewPlistFile(folderAlias, filename, initialRecord)
try
return ((folderAlias as text) & filename & ".plist") as alias -- the file already exists
end try
set newFileName to (folderAlias as text) & filename
tell application "System Events"
make new property list item with properties {kind:record, value:initialRecord}
make new property list file with properties {contents:the result, name:newFileName}
set newFileName to (path of the result)
end tell
return (newFileName as alias)
end makeNewPlistFile --------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need to modify it to write a temporary file to the desktop.
Open this file with Xcode to see the structure of the data in InfoRecord.
InfoRecord contains more data than you will need.
