How cloud radiology works
From image acquisition to final report — the complete journey of a radiology study on Medcloud.
01
Image Acquisition
A modality (CT, X-ray, MRI, ultrasound) captures the study and sends it via DICOM to the Medcloud gateway — on-premise or cloud-native.
02
Cloud Archive & Processing
Studies are stored in a geo-redundant cloud archive, de-identified where required, and indexed in the RIS worklist within seconds.
03
AI Triage & Prioritisation
AI algorithms flag priority findings — pneumothorax, TB patterns, fractures — and surface them in the radiologist's worklist as alerts.
04
Remote Reading & Reporting
Radiologists access studies via a zero-footprint browser viewer from anywhere. Reports are structured, signed, and delivered to the referring clinician.
