Teleradiology built around signed, subspecialist final reports.
A board-certified subspecialist reads every study and signs the final report, inside a turnaround tier written into the contract and measured from last-image arrival to signature.
A named signer, and a second set of eyes.
By protocol, one in 20 signed reports is independently double-read by a second subspecialist, blind. The ACR's RADPEER program states that no scoring benchmarks have been established, so there is no industry target to claim alignment with.
Subspecialty-matched routing
Every study is routed by modality and body part to a radiologist credentialed to read it, before interpretation begins.
One in 20, double-read
One in 20 signed reports is re-read blind by a second subspecialist, in a program modeled on ACR standards. Findings feed individual feedback and panel-level quality review.
Discrepancy tracking
Every addendum, correction, and client query is categorized and traced to its cause. Discrepancies are tracked per modality and per radiologist.
A named signer, always
Every report carries the signing radiologist’s name and credentials, frozen at signature time. The full event history of a study, submission to delivery, is preserved in an append-only log.
The names on the reports.
Board-certified, fellowship-trained subspecialists across ten subspecialties, all reading from within the United States on scheduled shifts and licensed in all 50 states. Coverage is 24/7/365, and night reading is a dedicated, scheduled shift with a required rest period before it. The physician who reads your study is the physician who signs the report.
How your studies are handled.
Data handling table stakes, each one meaning something specific about what happens to a study once it leaves your PACS.
HIPAA aligned
AstraRad operates as a HIPAA business associate under a signed BAA. Patient data is handled as protected health information end to end, with access controls, minimum-necessary scoping and breach procedures built to the HIPAA Security Rule safeguard categories.
EU imaging, processed under a DPA
AstraRad processes EU imaging as a processor, never as a controller, under a signed DPA. That supports your GDPR obligations with documented lawful-basis processing, data-subject rights handling, and EU-appropriate transfer safeguards for cross-border reporting.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
TLS on every transfer, encryption at rest for every stored study, and integrity hashing on every received image.
Audit-logged access
Every action taken on a study lands in an append-only audit log, scoped by role and by facility, with minimum-necessary access as the default.
DICOM conformant
Standards-based study transfer straight from your PACS. No software to install on your side, and your viewer stays your viewer.
HL7 and FHIR delivery
Report delivery that drops into your RIS and EHR workflows without a custom integration project.
Physician-led, and accountable in writing.
Read and signed by radiologists
Every report is read and signed by a US board-certified radiologist, routed by subspecialty, and 1 in 20 receives a blind second read from another subspecialist under our quality protocol.
A named team per client
Every client gets a named clinical liaison and a named operations contact, plus a quarterly service review with the turnaround data on the table. Not a ticket queue.
The same accounting covers what we publish. Who reviews an article, which sources the build will accept, and how a correction is made and dated are set out in our editorial standards.
