Radiology Imaging Solution (designed for multi-center hospital networks)

Enterprise InstaRad is a customizable radiology imaging solution designed for multi-center hospital networks. DICOM images of CTs, MRIs, ultrasounds and other modalities from multiple centers are loaded onto a centrally managed server from where they are distributed to multiple specialists or reporting centers. Specialists view and analyze the image or collaborate with peers from any place, at any time, over internet connections of any bandwidth. The diagnosis is reported back to the medical center in quick time.

Enterprise InstaRad is a multi-point to multi-point image distribution software solution. A central server hosts the Enterprise InstaRad medical imaging solution. DICOM images from various remote centers are uploaded to the central server via an upload utility over the internet. The main server has a rule based engine that routes requests to radiologists and alerts them through an automated SMS gateway. A workflow manager manages a team of radiologists and images from centers allotted to them.
