Teleradiology without a third party

Remote reading software for your own radiologist, from home or a second site.

AuraPACS gives the radiologist you already work with a browser viewer and reporting from anywhere you allow. Studies sync from the on-premise node through the cloud layer; the reader opens them, reports and signs. It is your radiologist, your archive and your report, not a pay-per-scan service.

What remote reading means in AuraPACS

Remote reading in AuraPACS means an authorised radiologist opens the centre's studies in a browser from wherever they are, scrolls the slices, adjusts window/level, writes the report on a template and signs it, exactly as they would in the reading room. Studies are received on the on-premise node and made available outside through the cloud layer.

This is teleradiology in the sense of reading at a distance, but it is not a teleradiology service. AuraPACS does not supply radiologists or charge per study read. It gives the radiologist you already work with a way to report between visits, and gives you role-based control and an audit trail over who saw what.

Why remote reading is hard today

The radiologist is willing. The setup is what fails.

Most small centres have a radiologist who could read from home. What they lack is a safe way to get the study to them.

Screenshots on WhatsApp

A few slices are photographed and sent; the radiologist reports on a fraction of the study.

VPN and installed software

A workstation client and a VPN that someone has to maintain, and that breaks when the radiologist changes laptop.

Anonymous access

A shared login means nobody knows who opened which patient's study.

Report comes back by email

The document is emailed to the centre, printed and filed, disconnected from the images.

Pay-per-scan lock-in

Outsourcing to a service solves the reading but bills every study forever and takes the relationship with your radiologist away.

Slow uplinks

Uploading a whole MR to a remote workstation over a weak line takes longer than the read.

How it runs

From the scanner to a report signed elsewhere.

01

Study received locally

The modality sends to the on-premise node as usual.

→
02

Synced

An encrypted copy reaches the cloud layer when the connection is up.

→
03

Pending list

The radiologist logs in from home and sees unread studies for their role.

→
04

Read in the browser

Slice scrolling and window/level on any laptop, priors from the history.

→
05

Reported and signed

Template report finalised to PDF on the study, same as on site.

→
06

Shared by the centre

Front desk sends the secure WhatsApp link to the referrer.

In practice

Reading arrangements this fits.

Visiting radiologist, two days a week

Workflow: On the other days he opens the pending list from home and reports; on visit days he reviews in person.

Result: Reports go out daily instead of twice a week.

Radiologist in another city

Workflow: She reads the centre's CT and MR from her own practice in a browser, with her own login.

Result: The centre keeps its radiologist and its archive; nothing is outsourced.

Two branches, one reader

Workflow: Both nodes sync to the cloud layer; the radiologist sees one pending list across both.

Result: The second branch does not need its own radiologist on site.

Night-time casualty CT

Workflow: The on-call radiologist opens the study on a laptop at home and reports.

Result: The emergency physician gets the report without waiting for morning.

Questions

Remote reading software, answered.

Is AuraPACS a teleradiology service?

No. It does not supply radiologists or charge per study read. It gives your own radiologist a browser viewer and reporting from anywhere you allow. If you use a third-party reporting service as well, that is a separate arrangement.

What does the radiologist need at home?

A laptop with a standard browser and an internet connection. The viewer opens CT, MR, X-ray and ultrasound with nothing installed. Display quality for reading is the radiologist's choice.

How is access controlled?

Each radiologist has their own login with the radiologist role. Every view is audited, so the owner can see who opened which study and when. See radiology workflow.

Does the whole study have to upload before reading?

Studies sync from the on-premise node to the cloud layer in the background after they are received. The remote reader opens the synced study in the browser; on-site reading is never held up by the sync.

Can one radiologist cover two branches?

Yes. Each branch runs its own node and both sync to the cloud layer, so the reader sees a single pending list across sites.

Does the report written remotely reach the centre?

It is written on the study itself, so it is already at the centre the moment it is signed. Front desk sends the secure link on WhatsApp. See reporting software.
