For radiologists

Read CT and MRI on your own hours, at a rate you see before you start.

Raydiac is a managed teleradiology network for hospitals and diagnostic centres in India. Panel radiologists choose their modalities and shifts, receive full studies in a browser viewer with the history and priors attached, author and sign structured reports, and are paid per study on a published rate card. Never an employee. Never a pool.

Your worklist: the orders routed to you on this shift, their priority, and the time left on each service-level target.

Who this is for

Three radiologists. One kind of work.

The consultant with evenings

A radiologist in a hospital post whose day list finishes by six and who would rather read forty CTs from a proper workstation at home than answer WhatsApp photographs for friends. Evening and weekend shifts, paid per study, on the record.

The radiologist between posts

Recently qualified, on a career break, relocating, or waiting for a post that has been promised for a year. Reporting work that keeps the hands in, pays monthly, and comes with peer review so the work counts for something when the next interview asks.

The reader who wants nights

A radiologist who is happy to own the night roster for a group of district hospitals in Punjab, read the emergency CTs that arrive after ten, phone the coordinator when something is critical, and be paid a night rate for doing it. This is the wedge Raydiac is launching on.

The first cohort reads for hospitals and diagnostic centres in Punjab. Radiologists who speak Punjabi or Hindi are useful to referrers there, but the reports are in English and the panel is open to radiologists anywhere in India. Read the guide to teleradiology jobs in India.

How the work reaches you

You never pick from a pool. The engine brings the work to you.

Open marketplaces reward whoever refreshes fastest. Raydiac routes each order to one credentialed radiologist at a time, on a rule everyone can read.

You set your modalities and your shifts

At onboarding you tell Raydiac whether you read CT, MRI or both, any subspecialty interest, and the day, evening and night shifts you are available for. You can change any of these. Shifts you accept go on the roster that Raydiac uses to promise coverage to hospitals, which is why an accepted shift is the one commitment Raydiac takes seriously.

You are credentialed for each hospital, per modality

A hospital does not send its studies to an anonymous panel. Each radiologist holds a credential for each organisation and modality they read for, recorded with the verified registration, degree and indemnity behind it. The hospital can see who is credentialed for its site, and every report you sign carries your name, qualification, council and registration number.

The assignment engine routes each order

When a study arrives, Raydiac pseudonymises it, creates an order with the priority the site chose, and starts a service-level timer. The engine then offers the order to radiologists who hold an active credential for that site and modality, weighing subspecialty where it matters, the roster, your current load and the time left on the clock.

Offers are time-boxed, one radiologist at a time

An offer appears on your worklist with the study type, priority and time remaining. You accept it or let it pass. If you do not accept within the time box, it goes to the next eligible radiologist, and nothing is held against you. There is no race to click, and no queue where the fastest hand wins the easiest cases.

STAT goes to the top of every eligible list

A STAT order interrupts the ordinary sequence: it is offered to every eligible radiologist on shift at the top of their worklist, with a backup route if the first reader does not accept in time. Priority is set by the site at intake and can be raised by you if you find something unexpected. It can never be lowered, by anyone.

What you read on

The full study, the history, the priors. Never a screenshot.

Every order opens in an OHIF viewer in your browser, with the complete DICOM series, window presets, measurements and multiplanar reconstruction. Raydiac asks radiologists to read on a workstation display that meets the ACR-AAPM-SIIM guidance for diagnostic viewing, and never on a phone. Studies come with a clinical history and a clinical question because Raydiac will not route a study without them, and priors from the same site are attached before you open the case.

How the OHIF viewer compares to a PACS workstation

What the order carries	Detail
Pseudonym	A platform identifier such as RDX-26-000418. Name, patient ID, date of birth and phone stay in an encrypted vault and are merged back into the report at signing.
Age and sex	Always present. Date of birth is withheld.
Clinical history	Mandatory, at least 50 characters, entered by the site. A study with no history is not routed.
Clinical question	Mandatory. The question the referrer wants answered, shown at the top of the report template.
Priors	Earlier studies of the same patient from the same site, attached automatically for comparison.
Priority and clock	STATUrgentRoutineSet at intake; the time remaining on the service-level target is visible on the worklist.
Display guidance	ACR-AAPM-SIIM: minimum luminance of at least 1.0 cd/m², maximum around 350 cd/m², DICOM GSDF calibration within 10 percent, ambient light 25 to 75 lux.

Reporting

Structured, dictated, drafted from your own words, and signed by you.

Templates a radiologist curated

Findings, impression, recommendations and measurements in named sections, from a CT and MRI template library maintained by Raydiac’s clinical co-founder, who is a practising MD radiologist. Sites may ask for their own header and format; the clinical structure stays consistent.

Dictation and template fill

Dictate into the findings section, or fill a template for a normal study in a few keystrokes. Measurements are captured as data, so a follow-up can be compared to the prior without re-reading the prose.

Drafting and proofreading from your text only

Once findings are written, a language model that runs on Raydiac’s own servers in India can draft an impression from those findings and proofread the report before signing. It only ever sees the radiologist’s text. It never sees the images, and it never suggests a finding.

Author and signer, always the radiologist

Nothing is signed until the radiologist has read the study and the report. Signing is by Aadhaar eSign from the radiologist, counter-signed by Raydiac, with a QR verification page. A signed report is immutable; corrections are issued as addenda under the same signature process.

How you are paid

A per-study fee on a published card, settled monthly, with the tax already handled.

Raydiac shows the radiologist fee and its own platform fee as separate lines on every rate. You see what the hospital pays and what you receive.

Item	How it works for a panel radiologist
Rate card	One line per combination of modality (CT or MRI), study type, contrast, priority (routine, urgent, STAT) and shift (day, evening, night). Each line shows your fee and Raydiac’s platform fee separately. The card is shared in full at onboarding, before you accept a shift.
Rate fixed at intake	The rate on an order is snapshotted when the order is created. A later change to the rate card never reprices a study you have already read.
Monthly statement	One statement per month listing every signed report by order, line, fee, any second-read or addendum, TDS deducted and the net amount settled.
Settlement	Payment flows through an RBI-authorised payment aggregator’s split settlement. The hospital pays one invoice; your share is settled to your bank account directly. Raydiac never holds hospital money in its own account.
TDS	Deducted under section 194-O at 0.1 percent of the gross fee, with Form 16A issued every quarter. Because 194-O applies, no 194J deduction is made on the same transaction.
GST	None on your fee. A radiologist’s professional service is exempt health care under Entry 74 of Notification 12/2017-CT(R). GST at 18 percent applies to Raydiac’s platform fee only, and is charged to the hospital.
Your status	Independent contractor. Raydiac is never your employer, sets no hours beyond the shifts you opt into, and asks for no exclusivity.

What Raydiac asks of you

Verified once, re-verified every year, and personally responsible for every read.

Hospitals that outsource reporting are trusting a radiologist they have never met. Raydiac’s credentialing is what makes that reasonable, and it is the reason the network can pay a proper rate. Every item below is recorded against your profile and shown to the hospitals you read for.

How Raydiac verifies medical registration

Medical registration
Registration with a State Medical Council or the National Medical Commission, verified against the Indian Medical Register at onboarding.
Qualification
MD, DNB or DMRD in radiology, with the degree certificate recorded against the profile.
Professional indemnity
A current professional indemnity policy, with the insurer, policy number and validity recorded and renewed on expiry.
Annual re-verification
Registration, indemnity and any change of council or address re-verified every year. Credentials lapse if the re-verification is not completed.
Two-factor authentication
Mandatory on every login. Sessions are tied to the radiologist, and every view, accept, sign and export is written to an append-only audit trail.
Personal interpretation
Every study is read in full by the credentialed radiologist who signs it. Raydiac does not offer sign-off-only work, does not accept reports drafted by a third party, and does not route a study to anyone other than the radiologist named on the credential.

Quality

Measured the way a department measures it. Not with stars.

Raydiac does not rate radiologists, rank them, or show hospitals a score. It runs the quality process a good radiology department runs, and shares the results with the people they concern.

Random-sample peer review

A random sample of signed reports is re-read by another credentialed panel radiologist who does not know whose report it is. Agreement, minor discrepancy and clinically significant discrepancy are recorded with the reviewer’s reasoning. Mature programmes report well under one percent clinically significant discrepancies; that is the benchmark the panel is measured against.

Discrepancy rates, shown to you

Each radiologist sees their own discrepancy rate by modality and study type, the cases behind it, and how it compares to the panel as a whole. A hospital can see the panel’s aggregate figures for its own studies. No individual radiologist is ranked or scored for a hospital.

Second reads on the same order

A hospital, a radiologist or a reviewer can ask for a second read, which is a separate assignment and a separate report on the same order. Second reads are paid on the rate card. Where a second read disagrees with the first, the reporting radiologist is told, can respond, and a third read settles it where needed.

How peer review is run and what the published discrepancy benchmarks are: radiology peer review and quality.

A note from Raydiac

Not a WhatsApp group.

Most remote reporting in India today is a photograph of a console, sent to a friend from residency, answered between other things, with no history, no priors, no record and no fee that anyone would put on paper. The radiologist takes the professional risk. The hospital gets a message it cannot file. Nobody is paid properly and nobody is protected.

Raydiac exists to put a workflow between the two. The study arrives whole. The history is there because the site was not allowed to send without it. The rate was published before you accepted the shift. The report carries your name and registration, is signed with your own electronic signature, and cannot be altered afterwards. The audit trail says who saw what and when. That is the difference between a favour and a practice, and it is the only kind of teleradiology Raydiac will run.

FAQ

Questions radiologists ask

Is this a teleradiology job or freelance work?

Freelance, in the legal sense. Raydiac panel radiologists are independent contractors who choose their own modalities and shifts and are paid per study on a published rate card. Raydiac is never the employer, does not set working hours beyond the shifts a radiologist opts into, and does not ask for exclusivity. Many panel members hold a hospital post and read for Raydiac in the evenings or at weekends.

Do I need a subspecialty to read for Raydiac?

No. Most radiology in India is general radiology, and most of what hospitals send at night is emergency CT of the brain, chest and abdomen, and routine MRI of the brain and spine. Raydiac credentials generalists for CT and MRI. Subspecialty interest is recorded as an optional preference that the assignment engine weighs where it can, and it is used for second reads on difficult cases.

How much does Raydiac pay per study?

Raydiac publishes a rate card with a per-study radiologist fee for each line, keyed by modality, study type, contrast, priority and shift. The card is shared in full during onboarding, before any shift is accepted, and the rate on an order is fixed when the order is created. Raydiac does not publish rupee figures on this page. The salary guide gives the sourced context for what radiologists in India earn.

Is there a minimum number of studies I must read?

No minimum. A radiologist tells Raydiac which modalities they read and which shifts they are available for, and can change both. The one commitment that matters is a shift once accepted: the roster is what lets Raydiac promise a service-level target to a hospital, so Raydiac asks for notice if a radiologist needs to drop a shift they have taken.

What equipment do I need to read for Raydiac?

A workstation with a diagnostic display that meets the ACR-AAPM-SIIM guidance for CT and MRI, a stable internet connection, a microphone if the radiologist dictates, and an Aadhaar-linked mobile number for eSign. Raydiac does not permit reporting from a phone or tablet. The OHIF viewer runs in a modern browser with nothing to install; two-factor authentication is mandatory for every login.

How does tax work on my Raydiac payout?

Raydiac is an e-commerce operator for the radiologist’s service, so it deducts TDS under section 194-O at 0.1 percent of the gross fee and issues Form 16A each quarter. Because 194-O applies, no separate 10 percent deduction under 194J is made on the same transaction. The radiologist’s professional service is exempt from GST under Entry 74 of Notification 12/2017-CT(R), so Raydiac adds no GST to the radiologist fee. Radiologists should confirm their own filing position with a chartered accountant.

Can I read for other hospitals or platforms as well?

Yes. Raydiac asks for no exclusivity. A panel radiologist may hold a permanent post, read for other teleradiology companies and take direct hospital work. The only conditions are that a study assigned by Raydiac is read on Raydiac, on a proper display, by the credentialed radiologist personally, and that a shift accepted on the roster is honoured or dropped with notice.

What happens if a peer review disagrees with my report?

A discrepancy is recorded, categorised by clinical significance, and shown to the reporting radiologist with the reviewer’s reasoning. The radiologist can respond, and where the case warrants it a third read is obtained. Raydiac uses discrepancy rates and second-read outcomes across the panel as the quality measure, in the way a hospital radiology department would, and never publishes star ratings or rankings of individual radiologists.
