Everything between the scan and the signed report
WinguRAD carries a study from your machine to a radiologist and back to the patient. Here's what it does at each step.
The app at a glance
Every study from your machines, in one list
Studies appear as soon as they're taken. Radiographers assign each one to a radiologist, and everyone can see what's waiting, what's being read and what's done.
| Patient | Type | Study | Received | Status | Radiologist |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wanjiru K. | X-ray | Chest PA | 08:42 | Waiting | — |
| Otieno J. | CT | Head, plain | 08:15 | Assigned | Dr. Achieng |
| Mutua P. | Ultrasound | Abdomen | 07:58 | Assigned | Dr. Kamau |
| Chebet L. | X-ray | Left wrist | 07:31 | Reported | Dr. Achieng |
| Hassan A. | MRI | Lumbar spine | Yesterday | Reported | Dr. Njoroge |
A cloud PACS for every study
- Straight from the machine
- Any machine that sends DICOM sends each study to WinguRAD over an encrypted connection as soon as it's taken.
- Works with your existing PACS
- WinguRAD can pull studies, including earlier ones for comparison, from a PACS you already run.
- Fewer typing errors
- Patient and exam details go to the machine from the worklist, so radiographers don't retype them.
- Several facilities, one account
- Groups and imaging centres with branches see each facility's studies separately, and each user only sees the facilities they're given.
Reading in the browser
- Nothing to install
- Radiologists open studies in a web browser on their own computer. The viewer has the tools they expect: scrolling through series, zoom and pan, brightness and contrast presets, and measurements.
- Assigned by a radiographer
- A radiographer at the facility assigns each study to a radiologist. A radiologist only ever sees the studies assigned to them.
- Reassign when plans change
- If a radiologist is unavailable, the study can be given to someone else without losing any work.
Reports your clinicians can act on
- The same structure every time
- Every report has three parts: the clinical problem, the imaging findings and the recommendations. A report can't be finalised until all three are filled in.
- Signed by the radiologist
- Radiologists save their signature once. It's added to every report they finalise.
- No overwritten work
- If two people open the same report, WinguRAD stops one from silently overwriting the other's changes.
- Ready to print
- Finalised reports download as a PDF for printing, with a QR code that links the patient to their images.
Images for the patient, on their phone
- Scan the QR code
- The patient, or the doctor they see next, scans the code on the printed report and the images open in a simple phone viewer.
- No CDs, no app
- Nothing to burn, nothing to install. It works on any smartphone with a camera and a browser.
- Only that patient's study
- Each link opens one patient's study and nothing else.
Know how your department is doing
- Turnaround time
- WinguRAD measures every report from the moment the study arrives to the moment it's signed, and shows averages per radiologist and facility.
- Volumes
- See how many studies arrive each day, so you can plan staff and radiologist time.
- Token balance
- See how many reports you've paid for and top up with M-Pesa or card when you need more.
Three roles, clear limits
Your administrator invites each person and gives them one role and the facilities they work with.
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Radiographer | Sees every study from their facility, assigns studies to radiologists, prints reports. |
| Radiologist | Sees only studies assigned to them, reads, writes and signs reports. |
| Admin | Oversees one or more facilities: studies, reports, turnaround and users. Can't write or change reports. |
What you need to start
An imaging machine that can send images
Most digital X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound machines can. If you're not sure, send us the make and model.
A computer with a web browser and internet
At the front desk and wherever your radiologists read. A normal broadband or 4G connection works.
Some time with your radiographer
We connect the machine with them, create your users and run a first study through together.
