Teleradiology for hospitals and diagnostic centres

CT and MRI reporting your hospital can plan around.

Raydiac is a managed teleradiology network. Your scanner sends the study, our engine routes it to a credentialed, NMC-verified radiologist under a service-level target, and a signed structured report comes back to your desk. A published rate card, one monthly invoice, and no lock-in.

The problem

Twenty thousand radiologists. One point four billion people.

India has roughly 20,000 to 22,000 practising radiologists, and seven or eight in ten of them work in tier-1 metros. A district hospital or a diagnostic centre in a smaller city can take six to eighteen months to fill a single post, then still has nobody at night. The scanner keeps running. The reports wait.

Reads happen on WhatsApp, or not at all

A screenshot of the console, sent to a friend from residency. No priors, no clinical history, no record that the read ever happened, and no way to know whether the person replying has read a CT in the last five years.

Contracts lock you in before they prove themselves

The established teleradiology companies sell twelve to twenty-four month agreements with opaque per-study pricing. You find out what the service is actually like after you have signed.

Nobody owns the night

A permanent radiologist costs nine to twenty-five lakh a year and still cannot cover evenings, weekends and leave. Emergency CTs at two in the morning are where most hospitals are most exposed.

The shape of Indian radiology

20–22k

Practising radiologists

For a population of about 1.4 billion. Most of them in a handful of metros.

70–80%

Working in tier-1 metros

The scanners in tier-2 and tier-3 cities are read by whoever can be found, when they can be found.

6–18 mo

To fill one post

The time a smaller hospital reports it takes to hire a single radiologist, at ₹9 to 25 lakh a year.

How it works

From the scanner to a signed report, without anyone photographing a screen.

One small box on your network, one worklist for the panel, one report format for every site. Nothing to install on the scanner and nothing for your staff to upload by hand.

The study arrives by itself

Your CT or MRI console, or your PACS, sends to a Raydiac edge gateway on the local network exactly as it would send to any other DICOM destination. The gateway forwards over HTTPS on port 443 with a per-site client certificate, and buffers up to 30 days if the internet drops. If you have no gateway yet, a resumable browser upload does the same job.

Identity is separated before anyone reads

Patient name, ID, date of birth and phone go into an encrypted vault. The order the radiologist sees carries a pseudonym, age, sex, the clinical history your staff entered and the clinical question. Priors from the same site are attached automatically.

Routing is a rule, not a race

The assignment engine offers each order to radiologists who hold an active credential for your organisation and that modality, weighing subspecialty, roster, current load and the service-level clock. STAT orders go to the top of every eligible list, with a backup route if the first reader does not accept in time.

The report is signed, immutable and yours

The radiologist reads the full study in a browser viewer, authors a structured report with the site’s templates, and signs it. Identity is merged back into the PDF at signing. Signed reports cannot be edited, only superseded by an addendum, and every event is written to an append-only audit trail.

Managed, not informal

What managed means in practice.

Most teleradiology in India runs on goodwill and a chat app. Raydiac puts a workflow between the hospital and the radiologist so that every read is credentialed, timed, documented and paid for.

The report

A medical record, not a message.

Structured by template

Findings, impression, recommendations and measurements in named sections, from a library of CT and MRI templates curated by our clinical co-founder. Preliminary and final states, with addenda that never overwrite what was signed.

Signed by a named radiologist

Name, qualification, council and registration number on every report. Aadhaar eSign from the radiologist plus a platform counter-signature, so a scanned signature image never appears on a Raydiac report.

Critical results closed out, not just sent

A critical finding opens a communication task: who was called, when, on which channel, and who acknowledged it. Open items escalate. The trail is part of the record.

Second reads on request

Any order can be sent for an overread by a second credentialed radiologist. Random-sample peer review and discrepancy tracking are how the panel is measured, not star ratings.

Two sides of one network

Built for the site that needs reads, and the radiologist who does them.

For hospitals and diagnostic centres

Coverage you can put in a rota.

Evenings, nights, weekends and overflow read by credentialed radiologists under a service-level target. One gateway, one monthly invoice, reports in the format your referrers already know.

Services

What the network reports.

All teleradiology services

CT reporting

Plain, contrast, angiography and trauma protocols. Emergency neuro and body CT are the bulk of what a district hospital sends at night.

MRI reporting

Brain, spine, musculoskeletal and body MRI from 1.5T and 3T systems, with priors attached and structured templates per study type.

Night and emergency

Evening, night, weekend and holiday coverage under a service-level target, with STAT routing and a closed-loop critical results process.

Second reads

Overreads for difficult cases, discharge audits, and peer review programmes for sites that want an independent quality measure.

Security and compliance

Built for the questions a NABH-minded hospital will ask.

The Digital Personal Data Protection Rules put substantive obligations on every hospital and every processor from May 2027. Raydiac is designed against them now: pseudonymised viewing, encryption, one-year immutable logs, breach procedures, a data processing agreement and a named grievance contact.

Read the security and compliance page

FAQ

Questions people ask

Short answers to what hospitals and radiologists ask first. Longer answers live in the guides.

What is Raydiac?

Raydiac is a managed teleradiology reporting network for hospitals and diagnostic centres in India. A site sends CT or MRI studies from its scanner or PACS through a small edge gateway; Raydiac pseudonymises the study, creates an order with a priority and a service-level timer, routes it to a credentialed radiologist, and returns a signed structured report to the site. Raydiac is built and operated by Scorpyns Technologies Private Limited, Chandigarh.

Which modalities does Raydiac report?

CT and MRI. Plain and contrast CT, CT angiography, and MRI across neuro, spine, musculoskeletal and body imaging. Raydiac does not report ultrasound, and never reports obstetric ultrasound, which must be performed and reported at the registered PC-PNDT centre by the qualified doctor who scans.

Who reads the studies?

Radiologists with an MD, DNB or DMRD qualification who are registered with a State Medical Council or the National Medical Commission. Raydiac verifies the registration against the Indian Medical Register at onboarding and again every year, records the degree, council and professional indemnity policy, and credentials each radiologist separately for each hospital and modality they read for. Every report carries the reporting radiologist’s name, qualification and registration number.

How fast are reports returned?

Each order carries a priority of routine, urgent or STAT that is set at intake and can only be raised, never lowered. Each site has a service-level target for each priority written into its agreement, and the worklist shows a countdown against that target for every open study. Turnaround is sold as a service-level target backed by panel roster commitments and service credits, not as a clinical guarantee.

How does pricing work?

Raydiac publishes a rate card per study, priced by modality, study type, contrast, priority and shift. The radiologist’s fee and the platform fee are shown separately. Sites receive one monthly invoice with a GST invoice for the platform fee; the radiologist’s professional service is GST-exempt. There is no monthly minimum and no long-term lock-in.

Where is patient data stored?

On Raydiac’s own servers in India. Patient identity is held in an encrypted vault (AES-256-GCM) separate from the images and report. Radiologists see age, sex, clinical history and the images, under a pseudonym such as RDX-26-000418. Identity is merged back into the report at signing, and every identity read is written to an append-only audit trail. Signed reports are retained for eight years; image retention is a term of each site’s data processing agreement.
