Six steps from scan to diagnosis

PostDICOM handles every step of the medical imaging workflow — automatically.

01

Connect your imaging devices

Install PostDICOM Medical Device Communicator on any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer in your facility. Configure DICOM routing once, and your CT scanners, MRI units, X-ray machines, ultrasound devices, and other modalities send studies to PostDICOM automatically.

Outbound HTTPS only — no VPN, no inbound ports, no network reconfiguration needed.

02

Upload studies to the cloud

Medical Device Communicator uploads each completed study automatically, or drag-and-drop DICOM files, ZIPs, PDFs, and clinical documents directly in your browser. Everything is associated with the correct patient record.

Formats: DICOM, PDF, JPG, BMP, MP4, MPEG. Non-DICOM documents are stored alongside DICOM studies.

03

Stored securely in your region

Studies are AES-256 encrypted and stored on Microsoft Azure in the data centre region you select at sign-up. Your data stays within that geography, supporting GDPR, HIPAA-compliant architecture, and local data residency requirements.

12 Azure regions: EU, US, UK, Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, Singapore, Australia, India.

04

View anywhere, no plugins needed

Open any study in your browser — no plugins, no downloads. PostDICOM's CE Mark Class IIb certified zero-footprint HTML5 viewer supports MPR, MIP, MINIP, 3D volume rendering, measurements, structured reporting, and more.

Works on Windows (Chrome, Firefox), Mac (Safari, Chrome), Linux, iOS, and Android.

05

Share with patients and colleagues

Generate a password-protected share link in seconds. Send via email. Recipients open the study in their browser — no account, no viewer installation required. Set expiry dates and revoke access at any time.

Replaces CD/DVD delivery entirely. Recipients get the same zero-footprint viewer experience.

06

Report and manage workflow

Create report templates by modality. Assign studies to radiologists. PostDICOM routes each study through assignment, draft, peer review, and final sign-off — with role-based access controls for multi-site practices.

User groups, per-location authorisation, and audit trails keep complex teams organised.

Built for healthcare data

Security and regulatory compliance are built into every layer of the stack — not bolted on afterwards.

AES-256 Encryption

All studies and documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. Encryption keys are managed per-account with no shared-key exposure.

Data Residency

Choose from 12 Azure regions. Your data never leaves the region you select — supporting EU GDPR, UK GDPR, HIPAA-compliant architecture, and local data residency laws.

Regulatory Certifications

CE Mark Class IIb for primary diagnostic use. ISO 13485, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 15504 SPICE Level 2 certifications. MDR transition planned for 2028.

Anonymisation Support

Remove patient identifiers before upload or sharing at the DICOM tag level — for education, research, or second-opinion consultations without exposing PHI.

Which medical specialties and workflows does PostDICOM support?

Common questions

What is PostDICOM?

PostDICOM is a cloud-based PACS and diagnostic viewer that eliminates on-site hardware. It archives medical imaging files using the DICOM protocol, provides a CE-certified zero-footprint HTML5 viewer for diagnostic reading, and handles image sharing with colleagues and patients — all from a web browser.

Who can use PostDICOM?

Anyone who works with DICOM files: radiologists, cardiologists, nuclear specialists, veterinarians, and law offices. PostDICOM serves both individual practitioners managing a personal archive and large institutions running a full PACS workflow.

Do I need to buy or install any hardware?

No. PostDICOM is entirely cloud-based. The only software you install is Medical Device Communicator — a lightweight app on an existing computer in your facility — if you want automatic uploads from imaging devices. The viewer and all management tools run in your browser.

Can I connect multiple clinic locations to one account?

Yes. PostDICOM supports multi-site setups. Manage multiple clinics or hospitals under one account with shared or separate storage pools, and control which users can access which locations.

Is PostDICOM free to use?

A 7-day free trial is available. Paid plans start at 79.99/month for 100 GB storage. Storage and user seats scale to fit any practice size.

Which file formats and modalities are supported?

PostDICOM accepts DICOM studies from all standard modalities: CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, PET, nuclear imaging, angiography, endoscopy, fluoroscopy, CBCT, and 3D visualisation. You can also upload related clinical documents in PDF, JPG, BMP, and MP4 formats — stored alongside DICOM studies and associated with the correct patient record.

How can I use PostDICOM on a day-to-day basis?

Upload medical imaging files and clinical documents via browser drag-and-drop or automatic DICOM routing through Medical Device Communicator. View studies in the zero-footprint HTML5 viewer on any device. Share studies with colleagues or patients via password-protected links. Manage reporting workflows with customisable templates and role-based assignments.

Is the viewer approved for diagnostic use?

Yes. PostDICOM's DICOM Viewer holds a CE Mark as a Class IIb medical device, qualifying it for primary diagnostic reading in the EU and EEA.

How does sharing work for patients and colleagues?

Generate a password-protected share link for any study or set of studies. Send the link and password via email or print it with QR code and give it to the patient. Recipients open the study in their browser — no account, no downloads, no DICOM software required. You set expiry dates and can revoke access at any time.

Can users anonymize patient data?

PostDICOM includes a powerful built-in anonymisation tool. Remove identifying DICOM fields and proprietary private tags before or after upload to ensure strict HIPAA/GDPR compliance before sharing cases with students.

How long is patient data stored?

For as long as your subscription is active and subscription fees are paid. Retention periods may vary depending on your plan type.

Which compliance standards does PostDICOM meet?

PostDICOM operates with HIPAA-compliant and GDPR-compliant architecture. It holds CE Mark Class IIb for diagnostic use, and ISO 13485, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 15504 SPICE Level 2 certifications. Data is stored in the Azure region you choose to meet local data residency laws. MDR transition is planned for 2028.

What support is available?

All plans include email support at support@postdicom.com. A knowledge base with articles and tutorial videos, plus the option to book a demo session, are also available.
