Reporting inside the PACS

Radiology reporting software that goes from template to signed PDF on the study.

AuraPACS reporting lives next to the images. The radiologist opens the study in the browser, picks the template for that modality and region, fills the findings, signs off, and the PDF is attached to the study and to the share link. No Word documents, no separate folder.

What radiology reporting software does here

Radiology reporting software gives the radiologist a structured template for each kind of study, captures the findings and impression, and produces a signed report that stays with the images. In AuraPACS the report is written in the same browser window as the viewer, finalised to a PDF, attached to the study and included in the secure link sent to the referrer.

The difference from typing in a document is where the report ends up. A Word file in a folder is unconnected to the study, gets renamed, and is emailed as an attachment. A report on the study is found by searching the patient, opens with the images, and goes out with them.

Why reporting is the slow step

The scan takes minutes. The report takes the rest of the day.

Most delay between a scan and a result is not the radiologist's reading time. It is the handling around the report.

Blank page every time

Each CT abdomen report starts from nothing, so the same normal findings are retyped daily.

Report and images in different places

The images are on the PACS, the report is in a documents folder named by date, and the two never meet.

Dictated, typed, corrected, printed

A typist transcribes, the radiologist corrects on paper, the front desk prints. Each hand-off adds hours.

No sign-off record

Nobody can say who finalised the report or when, because a document has no audit trail.

Emailed as an attachment

The referrer receives a PDF by email with no way to see the images it describes.

Amendments overwrite

A corrected report replaces the original file and the earlier version is gone.

In practice

What changes in the reporting room.

A normal CT brain in a minute

Workflow: The template opens with standard normal findings; the radiologist confirms and signs.

Result: The report is on the study and shared before the patient has left the waiting area.

A remote reader signs from home

Workflow: The visiting radiologist opens the pending list in a browser, reports and finalises.

Result: No document to email back to the centre for printing.

The referrer asks which scan the report refers to

Workflow: Front desk resends the secure link; it opens the images and the PDF together.

Result: No confusion between two studies on the same day.

An old report is needed

Workflow: The patient's history is searched and the earlier study opens with its signed PDF.

Result: No folder search by date.

Questions

Radiology reporting software, answered.

Can we use our own report formats?

Yes. Templates are structured per modality and region, and they are set up with your centre's wording and branding during implementation. The finalised PDF looks like your report, not a generic one.

Is the report written in the same screen as the images?

Yes. The viewer and the report editor sit in one browser tab, so the radiologist scrolls slices and writes findings without switching applications. See DICOM viewer.

Who can finalise a report?

Only users with the radiologist role. Technician, front desk and referrer roles see what their role allows, and every action is audited. See radiology workflow.

Can a remote radiologist report?

Yes. Reporting works the same way from home or a second site through the cloud layer, in a browser with nothing installed.

How does the report reach the patient and referrer?

The signed PDF is attached to the study, and a secure link sent on WhatsApp opens the report and the images without a login at their end.

Does AuraPACS read or interpret the scan?

No. AuraPACS is not a diagnostic device. It stores and displays the images and gives the radiologist a place to write; the interpretation is theirs.
