AuraPACS gives Madurai diagnostic centres and hospitals an on-premise node that keeps working without internet, a browser viewer, structured reporting, and a secure link so referring doctors across the southern districts see the report without anyone travelling back.
A Madurai scan centre serves a catchment far larger than the city. Patients come in from Sivaganga, Virudhunagar, Theni, Dindigul and Ramanathapuram, have the scan, and leave the same afternoon for a town two hours away. The report, however, still has to reach the doctor who sent them. AuraPACS is built around that gap: images land on a node in your centre, the radiologist reads them in a browser, and the referring doctor opens a secure link on his phone.
Madurai is within travelling distance of Chennai, so the node install, the modality connections and the first walkthrough with your technicians are done on site. Afterwards the centre runs on its own node with remote and WhatsApp support. There is no Madurai office and no local engineer, and nothing on this page should suggest otherwise.
The referral network around Madurai is wide, informal and spread across small towns, and that decides how a PACS has to behave.
The old answer was film and a CD. The patient carried both back to the doctor who sent her, the clinic computer would not read the disc, the film came out dark on the viewer box, and somebody rang the centre to ask what it showed. Every part of that is avoidable. A secure link per study opens the images and the signed report in a browser on any phone, with no login for the doctor and none for the patient, sent from the centre's system rather than from a technician's personal number, and every view is recorded against the study.
The second pressure is reading cover. Not every centre in the southern districts has a radiologist sitting in the building all day. Remote reading in the browser lets the same radiologist read for the centre from home, from a second site or between sessions, on his own login and with access limited to what his role allows.
The archive stays on the centre's own hardware with an encrypted offsite copy, so nothing about retrieving an old study depends on a vendor or on anyone visiting. A patient who returns in a year is found by name or by study, and the previous scan sits next to the new one. Billing runs from the same screen, with a GST invoice raised against the study rather than in a separate book at the counter.
Workflow: The radiologist finalises, the centre sends the link, and the doctor opens images and report on his phone between patients.
Result: The patient is not asked to travel back with a film.
Workflow: The front desk finds the study by name or date and resends the secure link from the system, with the resend recorded.
Result: Nobody hunts for a CD or reprints a film.
Workflow: The node comes back with the power, the modality resends or requeues, and the worklist still holds every patient scheduled that morning.
Result: The list resumes instead of restarting.
Workflow: Last year's study opens beside today's in the same viewer, on the centre's own archive.
Result: The comparison does not depend on what the patient kept.
Yes. The node install, the modality connections and the first walkthrough are done at the centre by travel from Chennai. There is no office, no staff and no local number in Madurai, and support after go-live is remote and on WhatsApp.
Through a secure link per study that opens the images and the signed PDF in a phone browser. No account, no app and no portal login, and every view is audited so the centre knows the report was opened.
Yes. The front desk finds the study and resends the link from the system. Because sharing runs through the platform rather than a personal phone, the resend is recorded against the study like any other view.
Not for scanning, viewing and reporting, which run on the node inside your centre. The connection matters for remote reading, sharing and the encrypted offsite copy, and those catch up once it returns.
Yes. Travel is arranged where it makes sense and setup is done remotely where it does not, with your IT person guided over WhatsApp and screen share. Support is remote in every case.
Yes. The live demo runs in a browser, and a 200 KB Windows demo installer runs against the demo server with sample studies so your radiologist can try the viewer before anything is agreed.
