For hospitals and diagnostic centres
Radiology cover that shows up at two in the morning.
Raydiac reads your CT and MRI studies through a credentialed panel of NMC-verified radiologists, on a service-level target you agree in writing, and returns signed structured reports in the format your referrers already know. Nights, weekends, overflow, or all of it.
- No 12 to 24 month lock-in
- Rate card published, invoice monthly
- Priority set by you, STAT to the top
- Reports signed, immutable, yours to keep

Your site’s view: every open study, its priority, and the time left on its service-level target.
Who this is for
Three kinds of site. One reporting problem.
01
The hospital without a radiologist
A 50 to 200 bed hospital with a CT scanner and no radiologist on the payroll, or a post that has been open for a year. Reports currently come from a visiting consultant twice a week, or from a friend on WhatsApp. Raydiac becomes the radiology department.
02
The hospital with one
One radiologist reading everything, on leave four weeks a year, unreachable after eight in the evening. Raydiac covers evenings, nights, weekends and leave, and takes the overflow when the day list runs long, without changing how the day works.
03
The diagnostic centre
A standalone CT or MRI centre whose owner pays per report to whoever is available, with no record of who read what, and referrers who want reports the same evening. Raydiac gives the centre a consistent panel, a consistent format and a monthly invoice.
How it works
Nothing to install on the scanner. Nothing for your staff to upload.
A study leaves your console the way it always has. Everything between that and the signed report is Raydiac’s job.

Your scanner or PACS sends to the Raydiac gateway
The gateway is a small computer on your network, configured as a DICOM destination on the CT or MRI console or on your PACS. It forwards each study to Raydiac over HTTPS on port 443 with a client certificate unique to your site, the same port every other web application already uses, and buffers up to 30 days if your connection drops. No VPN, no open inbound ports, no change to your scanner.
Your staff add the history and the question
Every order needs a clinical history and a clinical question before it can be routed; Raydiac will not route a study without one. This is the single biggest quality lever in remote reporting, and the thing WhatsApp reads never have. The site coordinator sets the priority. Priors from your site are attached to the order automatically.
Raydiac routes the order to a credentialed radiologist
The assignment engine only considers radiologists who hold an active credential for your organisation and that modality. It weighs subspecialty where the panel has it, the roster, current load and the service-level clock. STAT orders go to the top of every eligible list, and if the first radiologist does not accept within the time box, the order is offered to the next.
The radiologist reads the full study, then signs
The reporting radiologist opens the complete study in a browser viewer, on a workstation display, not a phone. The report is structured against templates agreed with your site, then signed with the radiologist’s own electronic signature and Raydiac’s counter-signature. Patient identity is merged back into the report at signing.
You receive the report where you want it
The signed PDF appears in your Raydiac portal and is delivered by email or WhatsApp to the people you name. Critical findings trigger a call to your coordinator and are tracked until acknowledged. Return of reports into your PACS or HIS is on the roadmap for sites that have one.
Priorities and service levels
You set the priority. The clock is visible to everyone.
Each site’s agreement carries a service-level target for each of the three priorities. The worklist shows the time remaining on every open study, to your coordinator and to the panel. Raydiac sells turnaround as a service-level target backed by roster commitments and service credits. It does not sell it as a clinical guarantee, because no honest network can.
What good turnaround looks like| Priority | Typical use | What Raydiac does |
|---|---|---|
| STAT | Stroke, trauma, acute abdomen, suspected bleed. Anything where the answer changes the next hour. | Top of every eligible list. Backup route if not accepted in the time box. Critical results phoned and tracked to acknowledgement. |
| Urgent | Inpatients waiting on a decision, same-day discharges, emergency department follow-ups. | Prioritised above routine work on the same shift. Same-shift target in your agreement. |
| Routine | Scheduled outpatient CT and MRI, follow-up imaging, elective work. | Read within the routine target for your site, in order of arrival, by radiologists on the day or evening roster. |
Priority is set at intake and can be raised by the radiologist on finding something unexpected. It can never be lowered.
The report
The report your referrers expect, signed by a radiologist they can look up.
Structured, in your format
Findings, impression and recommendations in named sections, on your letterhead, using templates for each study type. Measurements are recorded as data, not just prose, so follow-ups can compare them.
Signed, then frozen
Aadhaar eSign by the radiologist, counter-signed by Raydiac, with a QR code that verifies the document. A signed report can never be edited; corrections are issued as addenda that sit beside the original.
Bilingual where it helps
Reports are in English. Panel radiologists who speak Punjabi and Hindi are available for calls with referrers and families in your area.
Kept for eight years
Signed reports are retained for eight years and can be exported on demand. Images are kept hot for 90 days; longer image retention is a term you choose in your data processing agreement.

Compliance
What we ask of you, and what you can ask of us.
Outsourced reporting sits inside your hospital’s regulatory obligations. Raydiac is built to make that relationship auditable in both directions.
Raydiac asks the site for
- The AERB Licence for Operation number for each CT scanner, recorded against the site with its validity date.
- A signed data processing agreement that names Raydiac as processor for your diagnostic purpose.
- A named coordinator, with a phone number, who receives critical-result calls at any hour.
- Clinical history and a clinical question on every order, entered by your staff.
- Confirmation that no obstetric ultrasound will be sent. Raydiac does not report it and the gateway will not accept it.
The site can ask Raydiac for
- The verified registration, qualification, council and indemnity record of every radiologist who has read for you.
- A full export of your images and reports, on demand, within 72 hours, matching the MCI records rule.
- The audit trail for any order: who viewed the study, when it was assigned, accepted, reported, signed and delivered.
- Service-level compliance for your site by month and priority, and the service credits that follow from any miss.
- Peer-review and discrepancy statistics for the panel reading your studies.
