The platform
Archive, workflow, governance.
Behind the viewer sits a full archive: a standards-compliant DICOM node, a searchable study index, order and reporting workflow, and the access controls a hospital needs before a single patient image is stored.

- DICOMweb
- MWL & MPPS
- RBAC + audit

How it moves
From the order to the read, in one flow
The order leaves your RIS, the modality picks it up from the worklist, images land in the archive automatically, and the study is one click away from the clinician who ordered it.

Connectivity, worklist, reporting, governance
DICOM & connectivity
- C-STORE — receive and archive
- C-ECHO — verification
- C-FIND — study, series and image level
- Query / retrieve — C-FIND, C-MOVE, C-GET
- Modality Worklist (MWL)
- MPPS — N-CREATE / N-SET procedure step status
- DICOMweb QIDO-RS, WADO-RS, STOW-RS
- Modality configuration — AE title, IP, port, routing
- Calling-AE allow-list — optional enforcement
- Transfer syntax support — compressed and uncompressed
Patient & study workflow
- Patient search — name, ID, identifiers
- Study search — accession, modality, date, description
- Study worklist with filters and statuses
- Patient → study → series → instance hierarchy
- Prior studies and current-vs-prior comparison
- Study status — unread, in progress, reported, verified
- Study assignment to radiologists
- Patient image gallery — tool-less patient view
- Non-DICOM document store
Reporting
- Report editor alongside the images
- Report templates — by modality / body part
- Draft, finalise and sign
- Controlled addendum workflow
- Critical finding flag
- Report history and versions
- RIS / HIS / EMR integration — orders, demographics, results
Security & audit
- Role-based access control — view, report, export, admin
- Authentication and optional SSO
- Session timeout
- Patient context protection
- Study access audit
- Export / download audit
- Annotation audit trail
- Anonymisation — for approved secondary use
- Single-use launch tokens — short-lived, scoped
Integration
Built to integrate, without lock-in
Orders push straight into the modality worklist and clinicians launch a study from inside your RIS/EHR in one click — with native MediCubes integration, single-use launch tokens and a documented API for everything else.
Integration interfaces
- DICOM: C-STORE, C-ECHO, C-FIND, MWL, MPPS
- DICOMweb: QIDO-RS, WADO-RS, STOW-RS
- REST: order push and cancellation
- REST: launch-token mint and exchange — server-to-server
- Per-application client credentials and scope
- OpenAPI specification
- Native MediCubes RIS/EHR integration
Administration without a specialist
- Register modalities and test connectivity from the browser
- Create users and assign roles in seconds
- Enable or disable a device without restarting services
- Standard files and database — back up with your own tools
Modalities
Connect the equipment you already own
qPACS is designed to receive and archive objects from DICOM-conformant modalities across vendors. Devices are registered by AE title with an optional allow-list — adding a scanner is a configuration change, not a service call.
Your data
Your images, in a format you
can still read in ten years.
Every study is stored as standard DICOM Part-10 on your own disk, SAN or NAS, indexed in PostgreSQL — readable by any DICOM tool, with no proprietary container in the way.
- No cloud dependency and no per-study fees
- Back up the database and the object store with your own tools
- Migrate out with standard DICOM tooling, whenever you choose
- One database, one storage path, one machine to secure

The fastest way to evaluate qPACS is to point a modality at it. We install a full working system, connect it to your equipment and walk your team through a live read — on your images, on your network.
