Scheduling & Registration
Modality-wise appointment slots, patient registration, contrast and preparation instructions, and walk-in handling.
Radiology Information System
Radiology Workflow and Imaging, Under One Roof
Modality scheduling, DICOM image capture and storage, structured radiologist reporting and instant report delivery — for X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI and combined diagnostic centres.
One system for the scan, the images and the report
Diagnostic centres usually end up with three disconnected things: a register or billing package for appointments, a pile of images sitting on each modality's own console, and reports typed in Word and saved to somebody's desktop. Finding a patient's prior scan for comparison means asking whoever was on duty that day.
Care Matrix RIS ties the three together. A booking creates a study, the modality sends its images to central DICOM storage against that study, and the radiologist opens the images and reports on them from the same screen. Prior studies for the same patient appear automatically alongside the current one.
For centres running more than one branch, images and reports live in one place rather than on individual machines. A radiologist can report for any branch from wherever they are, which is what makes evening and weekend coverage practical without a radiologist physically present at each site.
- DICOM image storage with prior-study comparison
- Structured reporting templates by modality and body part
- Radiologist can report remotely for any branch
- Reports and images delivered to patients and referring doctors
What the RIS covers
Modality Worklist
Sends the patient's details to the machine so technologists select from a worklist instead of typing names at the console.
DICOM Storage (PACS)
Central image archive with study and series organisation, prior comparison and configurable retention.
Radiologist Reporting
Side-by-side image viewing and reporting, template library by modality, voice-typing friendly, and draft or final states.
Report & Image Sharing
Patients and referring doctors receive the report by WhatsApp or email, with an optional secure link to view the images.
Multi-Branch Operations
Branch-wise scheduling and accounting with a shared patient history and a common radiologist reporting pool.
Who uses our RIS
Diagnostic imaging centres
Standalone centres running X-ray, ultrasound, CT or MRI that need scheduling, storage and reporting in one system.
Combined path & radiology centres
Facilities offering both, where a patient should get one bill and one consolidated report history.
Hospital radiology departments
In-house departments receiving orders from OPD and IPD and posting reports back into the patient's hospital record.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to buy separate PACS software?
No. DICOM image storage and viewing are part of the Care Matrix RIS rather than a separately licensed product. You get the scheduling, reporting and image archive as one system with one support contact.
Will our existing machines connect?
Any modality that supports the DICOM standard — which is effectively all current CT, MRI, ultrasound and digital X-ray equipment — can send images to the archive and receive a worklist. Older analogue equipment without DICOM output cannot, though images can still be attached manually.
Can radiologists report from home?
Yes, with a cloud or internet-accessible deployment. The radiologist logs in, sees their assigned worklist, views the images and submits the report. This is what makes shared radiologist coverage across several branches or after-hours reporting workable.
How much storage do we need?
It depends heavily on your modality mix — a busy CT or MRI centre generates far more data per study than an X-ray or ultrasound practice. We size this during the pre-deployment survey based on your actual monthly study volume and the retention period you need to keep.
Can patients view their own images?
Yes, if you enable it. Alongside the PDF report, patients can receive a secure link that lets them view or download the study, which saves reprinting films and helps when they consult a doctor elsewhere.
Other modules in the suite
Every module works on its own and works better together — they share one patient record and one set of reports.
