PostDICOM is a cloud-based software service for archiving and viewing images obtained from medical imaging devices (such as ultrasound imaging, MRI, CT, radiography, and nuclear imaging).
PostDICOM enables all of the regular features of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) – storing, accessing, and sharing your medical imaging files – to be executed within a cloud environment using the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) protocol. This eliminates the need for hardware-based storage, lowering your costs and further optimizing your medical imaging archiving system.
DICOM is both a file format definition and a universal transmission protocol which enables the storing, retrieval, and distribution of radiology imaging data and related information by encoding data produced by PACS and many other types of medical imaging devices, including
DICOM has been integral to the development of radiology imaging. It is widely used in hospitals today and is being increasingly adopted in smaller institutions and practices.
Whenever you upload files obtained from medical imaging to PostDICOM, they are converted into DICOM files along with any related documents in PDF, JPG, BMP, and AVI formats and available to view in a specialized DICOM viewer from all types of HTML5 compatible internet browsers.
In addition to this, PostDICOM is equipped with advanced functions such as image processing tools, data streaming algorithms, and diagnostic tools such as MPR, MIP, MINIP, AVGIP, and 3D rendering.
Anyone is free to open an account on the platform. PostDICOM is used by medical professionals in diverse specializations – radiologists, cardiologists, nuclear imaging specialists, biomedical researchers, as well as professors, students, and patients alike for secure storage, retrieval, and exchange of medical imaging data.
Anyone working with DICOM files can benefit from the secure medical imaging data archiving and access offered by PostDICOM. Not being limited to its archiving function, this software facilitates the analysis and distribution of medical imaging data and offers a fast and convenient medium for consultations and interaction between all of its users.
PostDICOM can be used both as an individual archive and as a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System). Advanced image processing tools and data streaming algorithms make it a fast and efficient PACS solution.
Doctors can make use of PostDICOM as a data repository for their patients. The DICOM files can both be safely stored on the platform and viewed on any device (desktop PCs, notebooks, tablets, and phones) without the need to download any patient data to the client machine. Our zero footprint HTML5 DICOM viewer ensures that no patient information is left on the client machine after viewing the data. Along with the regular sharing feature, doctors can also share materials for specific educational purposes by creating teaching folders. Another feature is the ability to create Limited User accounts connected to the doctor’s account in order to grant patients permission to upload DICOM files to the doctor’s account.
Hospitals can use PostDICOM as their PACS, replacing their conventional archiving systems dependent on on-premises hardware with a cloud-based solution. Data is stored and viewed securely and IT maintenance costs lowered while the hospital benefits from a faster and more flexible system.
Hospital groups can benefit from PostDICOM by being able to manage all their hospitals in one place. The uploaded DICOM files can be viewed at any hospital within the group.
PostDICOM offers free trial on its paid subscriptions. During the free trial, you can upload, view, and share on PostDICOM free of charge. Paid subscription is available and allows further expansion of storage capacity.
PostDICOM supports DICOM files obtained from medical imaging (such as ultrasound imaging, MRI, CT, and radiography) in addition to common formats of related clinical documents such as PDF, JPG, BMP, and AVI.
As a user, you can upload any images obtained from medical imaging to PostDICOM along with any relevant clinical documents to complement them. The images are stored along with any other documents in supported file formats (PDF, JPG, BMP, AVI).
Our HTML5 zero footprint lossless DICOM viewer enables viewing files from multiple devices – desktop PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
The medical imaging files can also be shared between doctors, medical groups, and patients while the private information of patients remains protected, allowing a faster and more convenient alternative to regular means of consultation, monitoring, and diagnosing.
Paid subscription users can store their data for an unlimited time period. Uploaded DICOM files remain stored indefinitely as long as the account is active and subscription fee is paid on time. If an account is cancelled, any uploaded material as well as patient data is deleted with it.
Users can anonymize patient data before uploading it to PostDICOM, removing any personal information, making it adequate for educational and scientific usage, and protecting the right and privacy of the patients.
