X-ray images, from Radiology to the ward that needs them.
Radiology registers a study, uploads the images, and shares it with the departments treating that patient. They open it in a web browser on the hospital network, read the report when it is ready, and confirm they have seen it. No film to carry, no study lost between departments.
Departments served
Radiology sends; each department sees only the studies shared with it.
Open the system
The PACS runs on a computer inside the hospital. Enter that computer’s address once and this page will remember it on this device.
On the hospital network
Ask Radiology or IT for the address. It looks like
192.168.1.40:5174 and is printed in the server window when the
PACS starts.
From outside the hospital
For staff on call. This opens the remote viewer, which reads the hospital’s cloud mirror. It needs a separate account issued by the Health Information Officer.
Open the remote viewerHow it works
Four steps, from the X-ray machine to the clinician reading it.
-
Radiology registers the study
Patient number, name, examination and the clinical question being asked.
-
The images are uploaded
DICOM files straight from the X-ray machine, or JPEG and PNG exports. They are dragged onto the page and checked in the viewer before anything is sent.
-
The study is shared
Radiology ticks the departments that need it and adds a note. The study appears in those departments’ lists straight away, highlighted as new.
-
The ward reads it and confirms
The clinician opens the X-ray, presses Acknowledge receipt, and reads the radiologist’s report once it has been finalised. Radiology can see who confirmed it and when.
What it does
Built for a second-level referral hospital with an unreliable internet connection.
A real DICOM viewer
Window and level, zoom, pan, invert and millimetre measurement, in the browser. Grey levels are preserved rather than flattened, so nothing is lost on the way.
Confirmed receipt
The receiving department marks each study as seen. Radiology knows what arrived and what is still waiting, instead of guessing.
Reports attached
The radiologist writes findings and an impression. Drafts stay inside Radiology; the wards see the report once it is finalised.
Full audit trail
Every sign-in, view, download, share and report, recorded against the person who did it, with the time and the computer used.
Works without internet
The hospital network is the system of record. Everything keeps working when the line is down; cloud mirroring is optional and additive.
Wards can ask
A department raises a request for a patient; Radiology turns it into a study in one click, and the request closes itself.
Confidentiality
Patient images are confidential records. The system is built on that footing.
Access is enforced, not hidden
A clinician can only open studies shared with their own department. The server checks this on every request, including the image files themselves — not merely by hiding buttons in the interface.
Nothing is anonymous
Every person has their own account. Shared logins would make the audit log worthless, so the system is set up to avoid them. Accounts are disabled, never deleted, when someone leaves.
No patient data is stored on this website
This page is public. It holds no patient details and no images. It only describes the system and points staff to where it actually runs — on the hospital’s own computer, inside the hospital.
The remote viewer serves the program code from here, but the studies themselves travel directly from the hospital’s own protected cloud storage to the signed-in clinician’s browser. They never pass through this website.
