Who uses a cloud-based platform to manage medical second opinion and remote radiology consultation workflows?

Any service that receives DICOM studies from outside its own PACS and needs to return findings can use PostDICOM — from an individual consulting specialist accepting referred cases to a large academic centre running a formal second opinion programme.

How do online second opinion platforms receive and review imaging from patients in different countries?

Online second opinion services that receive studies from patients or referring facilities across different countries and institutions. PostDICOM eliminates the need for patients to ship a CD — they share a link and the consulting physician opens the study immediately.

How can a subspecialty radiologist accept referred cases remotely without a shared PACS?

Individual specialist physicians — neuroradiologists, musculoskeletal radiologists, cardiac imagers — who accept referred cases from hospitals or clinics that lack in-house subspecialty expertise.

How do academic medical centres run a formal second opinion programme for complex cases from external institutions?

University hospitals and academic centres that offer formal second opinion programmes for complex or rare cases. PostDICOM gives referring institutions a frictionless way to send imaging without IT involvement.

Can a teleradiology group offer subspecialty second opinion reading on the same platform as overnight reporting?

Teleradiology companies expanding into subspecialty second opinion reading alongside their primary overnight or emergency reporting service. PostDICOM provides a single platform for both workflows.

International Referral Services

Services coordinating cross-border second opinions between patients and specialists in different countries. PostDICOM stores data in the Azure region of your choosing, supporting jurisdiction requirements for international data flows.

Patients Seeking a Second Opinion

Individual patients who have received a diagnosis and want to verify it with another specialist. They receive a share link from their original provider and forward it to the consulting physician — no CD, no courier, no DICOM software.

What tools does a remote radiology second opinion service need to receive studies, read them diagnostically, and return reports?

A remote second opinion service needs secure study intake from any source, a CE-certified diagnostic viewer, structured report creation, multi-physician case assignment, and document co-storage — all available in PostDICOM without additional software at the consulting physician's end.

Receive Studies from Any Source

Accept studies via a secure share link from the referring provider, via DICOM C-STORE from any PACS, or via DICOMweb STOW-RS. No PACS-to-PACS agreement, no VPN, no proprietary import tool required.

CE-Certified Diagnostic Viewer

Review studies in the PostDICOM CE-certified Class IIb diagnostic viewer securely in the browser on compatible PCs and Macs. MPR in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes, 3D volume rendering, window and level, measurements, and annotations — no viewer installation required at the consulting physician's end.

Structured Report Creation

Create modality-specific structured reports within PostDICOM using configurable templates. Assign reports to specific users, track completion status, and attach the finalised report to the study before sharing it back.

Share Findings Back to the Referrer

Once the second opinion report is complete, share the study and attached report back to the referring physician or patient via a password-protected link. They open the images and the report in one browser session — no special software needed.

Multi-Physician Case Assignment

Assign incoming cases to specific consulting physicians within your PostDICOM account. Each physician sees only their assigned cases. Track reading status and completion across the full case queue.

Document Co-Storage

Store the original referral letter, clinical history, prior reports, and lab results alongside the DICOM study. The consulting physician opens the imaging and all supporting documents in a single browser session — no separate document management system required.

How does a remote radiology second opinion work — from image submission to report delivery?

The referring provider sends the study via a share link or DICOM send, the consulting physician reviews it in a CE-certified browser viewer, creates a structured report, and shares both the images and the report back — without PACS integration or additional viewer software.
