Teleradiology companies in India: who does what, and what they charge

The short answer

If a hospital in India wants a signed CT or MRI report from a remote radiologist, the two providers with published prices are 5C Network, a managed network of 400 or more radiologists on 12 to 24 month contracts,¹ and Krsnaa Diagnostics, an employed hub in Pune with 350 or more radiologists that sells full, night and overflow reads.⁴ Teleradiology Solutions is the oldest name in the sector but publishes neither prices nor turnaround. DeepTek publishes turnaround times. Qure.ai, CARPL and Synapsica sell software, not reports. Raydiac, which publishes this guide, is a new managed network for CT and MRI launching in Punjab.

This guide uses only what each company has published or what a named third party has reported about it. Where a value could not be found, the table says so rather than guessing.

Three kinds of company

The phrase teleradiology company covers three businesses that a buyer should keep apart.

1. Reporting services deliver a signed report from a registered radiologist. This is what a hospital without a radiologist needs. 5C Network, Krsnaa Diagnostics, Teleradiology Solutions, DeepTek’s teleradiology arm, Apollo Radiology International and Raydiac are in this group.
2. Software vendors sell the PACS, RIS or viewer that a hospital or a reporting group runs itself. Telerad Tech, Medsynaptic and DeepTek’s Augmento platform are in this group. A software licence does not come with a radiologist.
3. AI vendors sell algorithms that analyse images to assist a radiologist. Qure.ai, CARPL and Synapsica are in this group. In India, software that analyses images as an aid to diagnosis is a regulated medical device under CDSCO guidance, and it still needs a radiologist to sign the report.

Several companies straddle the groups. 5C Network is a reporting service that also sells AI software. DeepTek is a software and AI vendor that also runs a reporting service. The what is teleradiology guide describes the underlying pipeline that all three groups plug into.

Company profiles

5C Network

5C Network, founded in Bangalore in 2017, is the reference point for Indian teleradiology. It publishes a panel of 400 or more NMC-registered radiologists, pay-per-scan pricing with no minimums, and 12 to 24 month contracts.¹ It reports 2,000 or more facilities and 15,000 scans a day, quotes about 30 minutes for routine studies and 15 minutes for STAT, and holds a CDSCO Class B licence for its AI software.² Radiologists are paid a flat ₹425 to 575 per study, with 10 percent more in the evening and 20 percent more between 1 and 5 AM.³

Krsnaa Diagnostics

Krsnaa Diagnostics runs an employed hub in Pune with 350 or more radiologists, accredited by the ACR and NABH, and reported 1,501 teleradiology reporting networks at the third quarter of FY26.⁴ Its business is dominated by public-private partnerships: contracts run 5 to 10 years with receivables of around 120 days.⁵ In Assam it reports X-rays from 164 facilities within 6 hours by day or by 10 AM for night studies under the state’s free-diagnostic scheme.⁶ For private hospitals it lists indicative rates of ₹40 for X-ray, ₹350 for CT and ₹650 for MRI, and quotes STAT in 30 to 60 minutes, CT in 2 to 4 hours and MRI in 4 to 8 hours.⁴

Teleradiology Solutions

Teleradiology Solutions, founded in Bangalore in 2002, is the oldest Indian teleradiology company and historically served US night-time reading as well as Indian hospitals.⁷ It does not publish prices, pay or turnaround. Its software arm, Telerad Tech, sells the RADSpa RIS-PACS, which it reports at 550 or more deployments.⁸

DeepTek and Augmento

DeepTek, based in Pune, sells Augmento, a cloud PACS with an AI orchestration layer, and runs a reporting service on top of it. Its teleradiology arm quotes 45 minutes for X-ray, 90 minutes for CT and 120 minutes for MRI, each including a QA step.⁹ Customers named on its site include Vijaya Diagnostic.¹⁰ Prices are not published.

Qure.ai

Qure.ai is an AI vendor, not a reporting service. It raised a $65M Series D in September 2024¹¹ and holds a CDSCO manufacturing licence for its software.¹² Its products analyse images; a radiologist still writes and signs the report.

CARPL, Synapsica and Medsynaptic

CARPL operates a platform for deploying and validating radiology AI algorithms.¹² Synapsica, a Bengaluru AI teleradiology software company, has raised $4.81M.¹³ Medsynaptic is a home-grown RIS-PACS and cloud PACS vendor.¹⁴ None of the three sells a signed report to a hospital.

Apollo Radiology International, RxDx and Everlight

IMARC lists Apollo Radiology International, RxDx and Everlight among the participants in the Indian teleradiology market, which it sizes at ₹3,812.8 crore in 2025.¹⁵ None of the three publishes prices, pay, turnaround or contract terms, so they appear in the table with those cells marked not published.

Where Raydiac fits

Raydiac publishes this guide, so this section is not neutral and is not presented as such. Raydiac is a managed teleradiology reporting network for CT and MRI only, built and operated by Scorpyns Technologies Private Limited in Chandigarh. It is pre-launch, with a first cohort of hospitals and diagnostic centres in Punjab and a panel of 15 to 25 radiologists, and it does not publish usage counts because it has none to publish.

What Raydiac has committed to in public is the following.

• A published rate card by modality, study type, contrast, priority and shift, with the radiologist fee and the platform fee shown separately. Figures are shared at onboarding.
• One monthly invoice per organisation, with 18 percent GST on the platform fee only.
• No 12 to 24 month lock-in: a monthly term, cancellable with notice.
• Radiologists who hold an MD, DNB or DMRD, are registered with a State Medical Council or the NMC, are verified against the Indian Medical Register at onboarding and annually, and are credentialed per hospital and modality.
• A service-level target per priority and per site, with a visible countdown and service credits, rather than a single advertised turnaround.
• No AI reading of images. Language tools that run on Raydiac’s own servers in India help the radiologist draft and proofread their own text and never see the images.

The for hospitals page describes the workflow from scanner to signed report, and the pricing guide explains how the published split works.

How to compare providers

Compare providers on what you can write into a contract, not on the size of their radiologist panel.

1. Price per study, fully loaded. Ask whether the quoted figure includes GST, STAT and night surcharges, contrast and second reads. The pricing guide has a worked example.
2. Who reads. Employed radiologists in a hub, a curated panel of contractors, or an open pool. Ask for the credentialing file of the radiologists who will be assigned to your site, not the panel as a whole.
3. Turnaround in the contract. A published average is marketing. A target per priority with a measurement method and a service credit is a commitment. The turnaround guide sets out what is realistic.
4. Term and exit. 12 to 24 months is common. Ask what happens to your images and reports on exit and how long the notice period is.
5. Floor check against IRIA. The IRIA minimum charges circular of April 2024 sets ₹300 for a CT brain, ₹500 for a CT abdomen and ₹400 for an MRI brain or spine.¹⁶ A hospital price below those figures means the radiologist is paid below the floor or the provider is subsidising the read; either is worth asking about.
6. Data handling. Where the data lives, whether any patient data goes to a foreign service, and whether a data processing agreement under the DPDP Rules 2025 is offered without being asked.
7. Critical results. The named process for calling a critical finding through to the treating clinician, and how the call is logged.

Company figures in this guide are the companies’ own published claims as of September 2026 and have not been verified by Raydiac. Where a cell reads not published, Raydiac could not find the figure on the company’s site or in a named third-party source; it may exist in a private quote.
