Dr. Kapoor pauses before opening a chest CT on her workstation. She doesn’t just think about the diagnosis—she thinks about the patient’s privacy. Every image she reviews carries sensitive information, and a single breach could have serious consequences. For radiologists, protecting data isn’t optional; it’s part of their responsibility.
That’s why PACS data encryption isn’t just a feature—it’s a lifeline. Nandico PACS is built around the principle that every image, every report, and every measurement must stay secure without slowing the reading process.
Protecting Images From the Start
Images move through networks constantly—between scanners, PACS servers, and reporting stations. Each transfer is a potential vulnerability.
Nandico ensures that every DICOM image is encrypted at every stage. Dr. Kapoor doesn’t have to think about whether her workstation is safe—the system handles it automatically.
- Encryption applied from scanner to workstation
- Secure transmission across hospital networks
- Minimal impact on workflow speed
The goal is simple: radiologists focus on interpreting images, not worrying about breaches.
Access Control That Makes Sense
Security can’t just be a wall that slows you down. Radiologists need to access cases quickly, especially urgent studies, but only those who are authorized should see sensitive data.
Nandico uses zero-trust security principles, meaning every access is verified without slowing down daily workflow. Dr. Kapoor can log in and get to work immediately, while IT knows every action is secure and auditable.
- Role-based permissions for each user
- Multi-factor authentication for sensitive access
- Real-time monitoring of system activity
Security works in the background so radiologists don’t feel it, but it’s always there.
Sharing Data Without Worry
Collaboration is part of modern radiology—consulting with a colleague or sending a study to a specialist across a network is common. But sending unencrypted files is risky.
With Nandico, sharing studies remains secure. The system encrypts files automatically and ensures that only authorized users can access them. Dr. Kapoor can consult remotely, review prior cases, and collaborate without compromise.
- Encrypted study transfers
- Secure remote access for teleradiology
- Audit trails for compliance
Security That Supports Your Workflow
The best security is invisible. Nandico PACS is designed to protect images without interrupting radiologists. Fast image loading, intuitive layouts, and immediate access to prior studies continue to function seamlessly, even with encryption in place.
Dr. Kapoor notices it daily: “I don’t have to think about security—it’s just there, and I can focus on reading.”
FAQs
Nandico PACS encrypts every DICOM image and report at every stage—from scanner to workstation. This ensures data remains secure during storage, transfer, and access without slowing down radiologists’ workflow.
The system uses role-based permissions, multi-factor authentication, and zero-trust security principles. Each user’s access is verified in real time, ensuring only authorized personnel can view sensitive studies while keeping workflow seamless.
Yes. Nandico encrypts all study transfers automatically, allowing secure remote access for teleradiology and inter-hospital consultations. Audit trails ensure compliance while collaboration remains safe and efficient.
No. Nandico PACS is designed to integrate security invisibly. Fast image loading, intuitive layouts, and immediate access to prior studies continue uninterrupted, so radiologists can focus on diagnostics, not security.
The platform maintains detailed audit logs of all user activity and follows HIPAA-aligned security practices. Every action—from login to image access—is tracked, helping hospitals meet regulatory requirements while protecting patient data.
