Radiology runs on the tight choreography of orders, scheduling, modality worklists, image acquisition, reading, reporting, and distribution — and when the RIS does not fit a group’s subspecialty, teleradiology model, or AI ambitions, the whole workflow drags. Taction Software builds custom radiology information systems, teleradiology platforms, and RIS-PACS integrations for radiology groups, imaging-technology vendors, and hospital imaging IT — with deep DICOM, HL7, and imaging-workflow engineering.

When Custom RIS Development Makes Sense

Specialty Radiology (Breast, Cardiac, Interventional)

Subspecialty radiology — breast, cardiac, interventional — has workflows and reporting that general RIS products handle poorly, driving demand for custom development.

Teleradiology Platform Development

Teleradiology groups need multi-site read distribution, subspecialty routing, and coverage management that off-the-shelf RIS was not built for.

Mobile Imaging Service Companies

Mobile imaging companies have logistics and workflow needs — scheduling, routing, and distributed reading — that benefit from purpose-built software.

AI Imaging Vendor Integration

Imaging-AI vendors need platforms that integrate AI into the radiology workflow, drawing on our healthcare AI and DICOM imaging pipeline work.

RIS Components We Build

Order & Scheduling Management

Order receipt (HL7 ORM), patient scheduling and resource management, and eligibility and authorization, built on our HL7 integration practice.

Modality Worklist & DICOM Integration

DICOM Modality Worklist (DMWL), image acquisition integration, and study tracking so modalities and the RIS stay in lockstep.

Reading & Reporting Workflow

Voice recognition integration (PowerScribe, Fluency), structured reporting, critical result communication, and peer review workflow — the radiologist’s core experience.

PACS Integration & Image Distribution

DICOM C-FIND, C-MOVE, and C-STORE, image-sharing platforms, and VNA integration, using Mirth Connect and our integration engineering where needed.

Teleradiology Platform Capabilities

We build the capabilities teleradiology depends on: multi-site read distribution, subspecialty routing, coverage calendar management, and subspecialist coordination — so reads reach the right radiologist at the right time across sites.

AI Integration

AI Worklist Prioritization

We integrate AI to prioritize the worklist so urgent studies surface first.

AI Triage & Critical Findings Detection

We integrate AI triage and critical-findings detection into the workflow, with the right escalation paths.

AI Reporting Assistant

We integrate AI reporting assistance into the structured-reporting workflow.

FDA 510(k) Considerations for AI Imaging

For AI imaging that is FDA-regulated, we build software that integrates FDA-cleared tools and supports the vendor’s regulatory pathway. We are not a regulatory body; we make the integration clean and compliant-by-design.

Integrations & Standards

DICOM (All Major Services)

We build to DICOM across the services radiology depends on, so images and metadata move correctly.

HL7 v2 & FHIR (Imaging Workflow)

We integrate the imaging workflow via HL7 v2 and FHIR for orders, results, and the broader record.

IHE Profiles (SWF, XDS-I)

We build to relevant IHE profiles, including Scheduled Workflow (SWF) and Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging (XDS-I).

IOCM & XDS

We support Imaging Object Change Management and XDS-based document and image sharing where the environment requires it.

Engagement Models

We work in four common shapes: a custom RIS for a radiology group, a teleradiology platform build, an AI imaging vendor platform, and RIS-PACS integration for organizations connecting existing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you integrate with our existing PACS?

Yes. We build RIS-PACS integration using DICOM services (C-FIND, C-MOVE, C-STORE) and VNA integration, so your RIS and PACS work together and images distribute correctly.

Do you have DICOM expertise?

Yes. DICOM is core to our imaging work — modality worklists, image acquisition, the query/retrieve and storage services, and image sharing — alongside HL7 and FHIR for the surrounding workflow.

Can you build a teleradiology platform?

Yes. We build teleradiology platforms with multi-site read distribution, subspecialty routing, coverage calendar management, and subspecialist coordination.

What about AI imaging integration?

We integrate imaging AI for worklist prioritization, triage and critical-findings detection, and reporting assistance, and for FDA-regulated tools we build software that integrates cleared products and supports the vendor’s regulatory pathway.
