PACS / IT · The Technology Behind the Read

Subspecialty reads, with none of the integration friction.

The hardest part of changing radiology partners usually isn't the radiology — it's the IT. Reads at Imagine run on our own PACS, built and run with deep PACS/IT expertise. Your modalities or existing PACS forward studies to us over secure DICOM, each study routes to the right subspecialty division, and the finished report delivers straight into your EMR — securely, and faster than typical outside-reader onboarding. Your IT lift is an image feed and a results interface, not a six-month project.

What Makes Integration Frictionless

Built by people who actually know PACS.

01

Built by people who know PACS

Most teleradiology groups are read-only — they depend on your IT team and theirs to make integration work. Imagine is built with deep PACS and dictation expertise, so the people designing your integration actually understand the systems on both ends.

02

Nothing to install, nothing to replace

Reads happen on our PACS — not inside your systems. Your modalities or existing PACS forward studies over standard DICOM, and finished reports return to your EMR via HL7/FHIR. You keep your stack; your team's lift stays small.

03

Routing to the right division

Worklist routing rules direct each study to the correct division automatically — MSK to MSK, neuro to neuro, body to body, women's to women's — so subspecialty matching happens in the workflow, not by hand.

04

Security and uptime treated as table stakes

HIPAA-aware design end to end: encrypted transmission and storage, access controls, audit logging, and redundancy so reads keep moving. Compliance isn't a feature we sell — it's the floor we build on.

From Acquisition to Report

How studies move.

01

Image transfer

Studies move from your modality/PACS to Imagine over a secure, HIPAA-compliant DICOM connection — set up once, automatically thereafter.

02

Subspecialty routing

Worklist rules route each study to the correct subspecialty division, with STAT studies prioritized.

03

Structured read

The subspecialist reads and reports in Imagine's clinical-question-first format, dictated through a platform built for speed and structure.

04

Report delivery

The finished report returns into your RIS/EHR via HL7/FHIR — with turnaround held to the division's commitments (routine within 1 business day, STAT within 1 hour).

What We Connect To

Built to meet your environment where it is.

  • All major PACS platformsimage exchange via standard DICOM.
  • RIS / EHR integrationorders in and reports out via HL7 and FHIR.
  • Worklist routingrules-based study distribution by subspecialty, priority, and facility.
  • Flexible image exchangefor sites without a full PACS, secure upload and cloud-viewer pathways are available.
  • No-disruption onboardingintegration is scoped and tested before any live read, with a soft-launch period to validate the workflow.

Security Posture

  • HIPAA-compliant transmission and storage, end to end.
  • Encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Role-based access controls and full audit logging.
  • Redundancy and disaster-recovery so interpretation continues uninterrupted.
  • Business Associate Agreement (BAA) executed with every partner facility.

Security specifics are reviewed with your team during the technical assessment so they map to your own compliance requirements.

How Onboarding Works

Implementation, scoped to a non-event.

01

Technical assessment

We review your PACS/RIS/EHR configuration, current throughput, and turnaround targets.

02

Integration build

Connections configured and worklist routing rules defined for your subspecialty mix.

03

Validation & soft launch

Tested against real workflow before full transition, so go-live is a non-event.

04

Ongoing support

Direct technical support from a team that understands the platform — not a tiered call center.

Your IT team will like this part too.

Tell us what you're running. We'll walk your team through exactly how integration would work, what it requires on your side (usually less than expected), and how fast we can be live.
