About eRAD PACS

eRAD PACS is a software-only, web-based medical image management and display solution, comprised of data acquisition and registration services, a central systems manager, clinical and diagnostic viewers, and a data archive. The system is used by qualified healthcare providers to the presentation, review and comparison of diagnostic medical images.

eRAD PACS data flows as follows:

The central system manager acquires patient and procedure information to prepare for the acquisition of image objects.

The acquisition services acquire image objects from image sources (modalities) or from one of the acquisition components.  

The central system manager searches for and retrieves relevant prior data from the archiving component.  

The central system manager registers the acquired image objects and the retrieved prior procedure data

Users access the information from a workstation by selecting the item from the study worklist.  

The system transmits the study and image data to the user’s workstation.

The viewing components render the data on the user’s workstation.

The user manipulates the data using the viewer component tools.

The user optionally dictates a clinical report into the system which is converted into text immediately and/or saved as a recording for later transcription.

The central system manager registers the report and status and makes it available for access by the referring physician or exported to a third party information system.  

The central system manager delivers the study, image and report data to the archiving component for backup and long-term storage.
