Ophthalmology PACS: Cloud Imaging Software for OCT, Fundus, and Retinal Workflows Ophthalmology PACS is the imaging IT platform that captures, stores, retrieves, and shares the diagnostic images ophthalmology practices generate — optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes, fundus photographs, slit lamp images, anterior segment photography, and retinal angiography. The software replaces the... By Mircea Popa Jun 22, 2026

After-Hours Teleradiology Coverage: How the Nighthawk Model Works After-hours teleradiology coverage is the operational model in which a healthcare facility contracts with a remote radiology group to read imaging studies acquired outside normal business hours — overnight, weekends, and holidays. The dominant pattern, often called the “nighthawk” model... By Andrei Blaj Jun 19, 2026

MRI Comparisons: Different Types of MRI, Machines, Procedures, and Imaging Alternatives Different types of MRI scans, machines, and procedures fit different clinical situations.
