Flagship Product Radiology Platform

InSpire

RIS & PACS Platform

A complete radiology information system and picture-archiving platform for modern hospitals — scheduling, worklists, reporting, PACS storage, web viewers, AI assistance, and patient delivery.

Deployed on your own servers. No cloud lock-in. No per-study fees.

The full stack

Everything a radiology department needs — in one install.

Scheduling → Modality worklist → Image acquisition → Reporting → Patient delivery. End to end.

What's inside InSpire

Two tightly-integrated components work together to cover the whole imaging workflow — from booking the exam to handing the patient their report.

Component 1

InSpire RIS

Radiology Information System. Patient records, scheduling, modality worklist generator, reporting workstation with Dragon-friendly dictation editor, electronic signatures, audit trail, analytics, patient portal, WhatsApp reminders, multi-user role-based access, mobile PWA.

Component 2

InSpire PACS

Picture Archiving & Communication System. Full DICOM SCP listener on port 4242 for C-STORE, C-FIND, C-ECHO, C-MOVE, Storage Commitment, Modality Worklist. DICOMweb support. Four viewers out of the box — Stone / OHIF v3 / BlueLight (web) + Weasis (native desktop, launched via weasis://). PostgreSQL index, Lua extensibility, bulk study management.

End-to-end

Clinical workflow, end-to-end

1

Schedule the exam

Receptionist creates appointment → accession number auto-generated → worklist sent to the modality within seconds.

2

Acquire images

Technologist selects patient on the modality — all patient data is pre-filled. Images flow straight into InSpire PACS over DICOM.

3

Read & report

Radiologist opens the study in the split-screen reading page: Stone / OHIF / BlueLight (browser) or Weasis (native) on the left, rich-text reporting editor on the right.

4

Sign & finalize

One click signs the report with the radiologist's saved signature block. Optional resident workflow: residents draft → radiologist signs final. Both credited on the printout.

5

Deliver to patient

Finalized X-ray reports become a single hospital-branded PDF with every image embedded. CT / MRI share a DICOM viewer link. Sent by WhatsApp, email, or SMS with a revocable token.

For radiologists

Clinical capabilities

Dragon-friendly reporting

Rich-text editor tuned for voice dictation — section quick-inserts, reusable templates, clean cursor handling. Split-screen with the viewer.

Multi-viewer (4 viewers)

Stone / OHIF v3 / BlueLight in-browser + Weasis native desktop client (launched via weasis:// with DICOMweb auth built in). Per-study picker, MPR, 3D, hanging protocols, full-screen diagnostic.

AI assistant

Floating chat bubble (Gemini / Ollama). Ask findings, summarize priors, suggest templates. Privacy-aware, per-user.

Dual signing

Optional resident → radiologist workflow. Residents draft, radiologist signs. Both credited on the printout.

Signed-report integrity

Signed reports lock automatically. Only admins can correct. Timestamped addenda from the original signer — never rewrite history.

Dual autosave

Every keystroke saved in the browser; silent server autosave every 30 seconds. No lost work on a network drop or PC crash.

Smart accession

Every exam gets a unique accession automatically. Walk-ins get one stamped back into the DICOM tags.

Prior viewer

Opens the previous study of the same modality on the second screen automatically — side-by-side comparison.

Batch operations

Bulk Sign & Finalize, bulk Print, bulk link, bulk reassign — built for high-volume days.

Power user

Clinical workflow & tooling

Auto-advance reading

Optional toggle: every Sign & Finalize auto-closes the viewer, picks the next unread exam, opens it in the tab, and relaunches the viewer on the reading monitors. Zero clicks between reports.

RIS ↔ PACS sync

One place to edit a patient: name, Medical Number, DOB, sex. Changes propagate to every matching study in the PACS — RIS and archive never drift apart.

Link exams

Group 2+ studies of the same patient into one reading session — they share a single canonical report. Perfect for multi-region CTs, biplane X-rays, follow-up + prior.

Per-user UI

Each radiologist tailors their own workspace: Classic or Modern sidebar, Dark mode for the reading pane, Auto-advance. Saved per user, survives login.

Choose your editor

Four editor styles — Rich (TinyMCE), Quill (lightweight), Plain, Text (pure dictation). Flip between them from the topbar. All Dragon NaturallySpeaking-compatible.

Scanned physician orders

Receptionists attach the referring-physician order with one tap — phone-camera or file picker. Orders travel with the appointment and appear on the radiologist's reading pane.

Export to Excel

One click on the Reports Hub exports the filtered list to a native .xlsx — Medical Number, accession, modality, radiologist, signed-at, turnaround. 18 columns. No paid components.

Switching to InSpire cut our report turnaround by over half, and the radiologists love the Dragon-friendly editor and the ability to read remotely from a tablet.

For IT & Admin

Operations & reliability

Automated daily backup

Nightly to your SMB/NAS at 01:00 — database, DICOM images, worklists, config. Super-admin dashboard with live log, schedule, run-now.

WhatsApp alerts

Admin gets a message on backup start/complete and any service going down or recovering. 30-min dedup stops spam.

Live DICOM Feed

Terminal-style real-time stream of every modality connection, study arrival, auto-link event — invaluable during onboarding.

Modality auto-onboarding

DICOM C-ECHO from the web UI. Register an AET once and the modality is live. Storage Commitment out of the box.

Third-party ingestion

Pull signed reports from another RIS/PACS (e.g. CareStream Vue) with an outbound bridge. No firewall holes, idempotent.

Historical import

Interactive importer for legacy reports from Excel — per-row patient match + confirm. Bring years of data in cleanly.

Role-based access

super_admin / admin / radiologist / resident / tech / receptionist. Granular per-user perms, live refresh (no re-login).

Audit trail

Every field change tracked — edits, report saves, DICOM deletions, shares, sign-ins. Old + new JSON retained.

Analytics

Exam volume, radiologist productivity, turnaround time, referrer trends. Export to PDF with your hospital logo.

Patient delivery — 3 tiers

Per-modality choice of PDF (X-ray/mammo), ZIP + browser viewer (any OS), or self-extracting EXE with portable Weasis (Windows). Disclaimer + IP-logged consent.

Installable mobile app

Progressive Web App — radiologists install InSpire on Android/iPhone from the browser. Full reporting from a tablet.

100% on-premises

Runs on your own server via Docker Compose. No cloud dependency. Your data stays in your building.
