Teleradiology services

Teleradiology services for CT and MRI, managed end to end.

Teleradiology services are the remote reporting of scans by a radiologist who is not on site. Raydiac provides them for hospitals and diagnostic centres in India as a managed service: your scanner sends the study, a credentialed NMC-verified radiologist reads it under a service-level target, and a signed structured report comes back. Credentialing, routing, signing and billing are Raydiac’s job.

  • CT and MRI, read in full
  • Named radiologist on every report
  • Service-level target per priority
  • Monthly invoice, no lock-in

What the site receives: a structured, signed report with the radiologist’s name, qualification and registration number.

Definition

What a teleradiology service is, and what a managed one adds.

A teleradiology service moves a CT or MRI study electronically from the scanner where it was acquired to a radiologist at another location, who interprets it and returns a signed report. In India, where roughly 20,000 to 22,000 radiologists serve about 1.4 billion people and most of them work in tier-1 metros, teleradiology is how a hospital in a smaller city gets a CT brain read at night, or an MRI spine read the same day.

Raydiac’s teleradiology service is managed, which means the network takes responsibility for the whole chain and not just the connection. Raydiac verifies and credentials the radiologists, installs and monitors the gateway, pseudonymises every study, routes it against a service-level timer, has the report signed by a named radiologist, closes the loop on critical findings, keeps the audit trail and issues one monthly invoice. The hospital supplies the studies, the clinical history and a coordinator who answers the phone.

What is included

Nine things every Raydiac site gets, whichever service it buys.

The service pages below differ in what is read and when. The platform underneath is the same for all of them.

01

Credentialed panel
MD, DNB or DMRD radiologists registered with a State Medical Council or the NMC, verified against the Indian Medical Register at onboarding and every year, and credentialed for your organisation and modality.

02

Edge gateway
A small Orthanc-based computer on your network that receives DICOM from the scanner or PACS and forwards it over HTTPS 443 with a per-site client certificate. Buffers 30 days offline.

03

Pseudonymisation
Identity goes into an encrypted vault before anyone reads. The radiologist sees a pseudonym, age, sex, history, question and priors. Identity is merged back at signing.

04

SLA-timed routing
Priority set at intake, a service-level timer per order, and an assignment engine that offers each study to eligible radiologists by credential, roster, load and the clock.

05

Structured signed reports
Findings, impression, recommendations and measurements in named sections, signed with Aadhaar eSign and a platform counter-signature. Immutable once signed; addenda only.

06

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

07

Second reads
Any order can be sent for an independent overread by another credentialed radiologist. Both reports are kept on the order.

08

Monthly invoice
One invoice per organisation each month, with the radiologist fee and the platform fee shown separately. GST applies to the platform fee only.

09

Audit trail
Every view, assignment, read, sign and export is written to an append-only, hash-chained log per tenant, with a daily chain head sent to write-once storage.

Services

Five services. Pick the cover you need.

Each service is priced on the same published rate card and delivered through the same gateway, panel and report format.

Not sure which

Most sites start with night and weekend cover and add day overflow once the panel has read for them for a month. Tell us your scanners, hours and volumes and we will suggest a starting configuration.

How hospitals use Raydiac

Managed, marketplace or informal

Three ways to get a scan read remotely. Only one of them has someone accountable.

A marketplace connects a hospital to an open pool. An informal arrangement connects it to a friend. A managed service takes responsibility for who reads, how fast, and what happens when something is missed.

What it costs

One rate card. Two fees, shown separately.

Raydiac prices every study from a published rate card by modality, study type, contrast, priority and shift. The radiologist’s fee and Raydiac’s platform fee are separate lines. Sites receive one invoice a month; 18 percent GST applies to the platform fee only, because the radiologist’s professional service is exempt healthcare. There is no minimum volume and no 12 to 24 month lock-in. The agreement runs monthly; cancel with notice.

Rupee figures are shared with the rate card during onboarding, once we know your study mix.

Who it is for

01

Hospitals without a radiologist

A 50 to 200 bed hospital with a CT scanner and an unfilled post. Raydiac becomes the radiology department: every study, every shift, one panel, one invoice.

02

Hospitals with one radiologist

Evenings, nights, weekends, leave and overflow read by the panel, without changing how the day works. The day radiologist keeps the day list and can add addenda to night reads.

03

Diagnostic centres

A standalone CT or MRI centre that wants a consistent panel, a consistent report format its referrers recognise, and a record of who read what.

04

Chains and groups, later

Multi-site organisations with a central radiology team that want overflow and night cover on one contract. Raydiac is multi-tenant from the first commit; white-label and self-hosted deployments are a later phase.

The market

Teleradiology in India is growing at more than twenty percent a year.

IMARC estimates the Indian teleradiology market at ₹3,812.8 crore in 2025 and projects ₹34,391.9 crore by 2034, a compound annual growth rate of 23.71 percent. Mordor Intelligence puts the same market at USD 0.38 billion in 2025, reaching USD 1.26 billion by 2030 at 27.3 percent a year. The two estimates use different scopes and periods, but they agree on the direction: remote reporting is becoming the ordinary way a CT or MRI scanner in a smaller Indian city is read. The reasons are the ones the shortage figures above describe. Scanners have spread faster than radiologists, and the radiologists who exist are concentrated in a handful of metros.

FAQ

Questions about teleradiology services

What are teleradiology services?
Teleradiology services are the remote interpretation of medical images by a radiologist who is not at the site where the scan was performed. The images travel electronically, the radiologist reads them on a diagnostic display, and a signed report comes back. Raydiac provides teleradiology services for CT and MRI to hospitals and diagnostic centres in India as a managed network, with credentialing, routing, signing and billing handled by Raydiac.
What does Raydiac’s managed teleradiology service include?
A credentialed panel of NMC-verified radiologists, an edge gateway that receives DICOM from your scanner, pseudonymised reading, priority-based routing under a service-level timer, structured reports signed by a named radiologist, a closed-loop critical results process, second reads on request, a monthly invoice, and an append-only audit trail for every order. Raydiac operates all of it; the site supplies the studies, the clinical history and a named coordinator.
Which modalities does Raydiac report?
CT and MRI only. Raydiac reports plain and contrast CT, CT angiography, and MRI of the brain, spine, joints and body. Raydiac does not report X-ray or ultrasound at launch and never reports obstetric ultrasound, which under the PC-PNDT Act must be performed and reported at the registered centre by the qualified doctor who scans.
How is a managed teleradiology service different from a marketplace?
In a marketplace, a hospital posts a study to an open pool and whoever picks it reads it. In Raydiac’s managed service, only radiologists credentialed for that hospital and modality can be offered the study, the priority is set by the hospital and cannot be lowered, the service-level clock is visible to both sides, and Raydiac is accountable for the miss. There is no open pool, no bidding and no rating of radiologists.
How fast does Raydiac return reports?
Each order carries a priority of routine, urgent or STAT, set at intake. Each site’s agreement sets a service-level target for each priority, the worklist shows a countdown against it, and service credits apply when Raydiac misses it. Raydiac sells turnaround as a service-level target backed by roster commitments, not as a clinical guarantee.
What do teleradiology services cost?
Raydiac publishes a rate card per study by modality, study type, contrast, priority and shift. The radiologist’s fee and Raydiac’s platform fee are shown separately. Sites receive one monthly invoice; GST at 18 percent applies to the platform fee only, because the radiologist’s professional service is exempt healthcare. There is no minimum volume and no 12 to 24 month lock-in. The rate card is shared during onboarding.
Is teleradiology legal in India?
A registered radiologist personally interpreting images from another location and signing the report under their own name and registration number is the ordinary practice of radiology at a distance. The Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020 do not address diagnostic reporting, and no NMC teleradiology-specific guideline exists as of early 2026. What Raydiac does not do is remote authentication of someone else’s read, which the NMC has said the guidelines do not permit.
Where does Raydiac operate?
Raydiac is built and operated by Scorpyns Technologies Private Limited in Chandigarh. The first cohort of hospitals and diagnostic centres is being onboarded in Punjab, and the platform is designed to serve sites anywhere in India. Studies are stored and processed on Raydiac’s own servers in India.
