PACS Automation for Radiologists
Let your AI agent handle repetitive image management—retrieving, sending, and logging studies—so you can focus on reading scans, not paperwork.
You spend hours each week as a radiologist digging through PACS archives, exporting files, and updating logs in systems like GE Centricity, email, and Excel. Every manual step steals time from patient care and increases the risk of transmission errors. The administrative grind leaves you frustrated and behind on actual diagnostics.
An AI agent that automates PACS image retrieval, secure transmission, and documentation for radiologists, reducing manual admin work in daily diagnostic workflows.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In hospital radiology departments, radiologists are stuck handling repetitive PACS tasks—searching for prior studies in GE Centricity, exporting DICOM files for colleagues, and manually entering transmission details into Epic or Excel. These admin chores pile up, eating into time meant for reviewing scans and consulting with referring physicians. The manual process is not only tedious but also prone to mistakes that can delay care. Over a week, these tasks add up and slow down the entire imaging workflow.

AI Agent FAQ
Yes, your AI agent integrates with GE Centricity, Sectra, and other DICOM-compliant PACS via API. It also logs transfers in Epic, Cerner, or other major EMRs, following your hospital’s access controls.
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3. The agent never stores images or patient information after processing, and all actions are logged for HIPAA compliance.
Your AI agent handles image retrieval, secure transmission, and documentation as you direct. Complex workflow variations or highly customized PACS setups may require manual steps, but routine tasks are fully automated.
You can type requests directly in a chat sidebar, Microsoft Teams, or via a simple web interface—no coding needed. For example, 'Send all chest X-rays from today to Dr. Smith and log the transfer.'
The agent works with standard DICOM workflows and major PACS/EMR systems. Highly customized or proprietary integrations may need IT support. Multi-language support is planned for future updates.
