Disaster recovery

Cloud PACS disaster recovery. Get imaging studies back in front of your team.

Replicate DICOM studies to Radiolinq while your existing PACS stays online. If a server or site fails, authorised teams open the same studies in the browser and keep reporting.

Geo-redundant

Copies of the DICOM archive in separate cloud locations

No spare server

Skip a second on-prem system and the upkeep that comes with it

Browser access

Open replicated studies on any authorised device

When the archive is down, patient care waits

Every hour without priors and new studies is an hour the reading list cannot move.

A local failure hides the archive

A server, storage array, or site outage can take new studies and priors offline together. Reporting waits until that hardware is back.

A second server is an idle spare

Standby hardware needs power, patches, and floor space, and it still shares the building risk of the system it is meant to replace.

Studies copied to the cloud, ready to read

Radiolinq sits beside the PACS you already run. The cloud copy is the recovery path, so access does not wait on a restore job.

01

Continuous replication

Modalities, or a gateway beside the current PACS, send DICOM to Radiolinq while the primary archive stays in daily use.

02

Orders stay matched

HL7 and FHIR keep the cloud worklist aligned with the RIS, so the study a radiologist opens is the study that was ordered.

03

Protected copies

Studies are encrypted in transit and at rest, with geo-redundant backups in SOC 2 certified data centres, role-based access, and audit trails.

04

Open and report

The browser viewer, AI-assisted drafts, and voice dictation stay available, so sign-out continues from the cloud copy.

During an outage

Radiologists keep reading. Care keeps moving.

While the primary system is being restored, the team reads imaging that has already landed in Radiolinq. Hospitals, imaging centres, and teleradiology groups use the same cloud archive.

Studies stay open

Authorised users open replicated imaging from a browser. Remote readers and other sites keep working while one server room is restored.

Reporting stays in the workflow

Templates, AI-assisted drafts, and voice dictation remain on the same platform, so the worklist does not move to email and USB drives.

Restore the primary system on your timeline

IT can rebuild the on-site PACS while clinical teams read from the cloud copy that is already online.

Disaster recovery questions

What is cloud PACS disaster recovery?

It is a cloud copy of the DICOM archive that stays readable when the on-site PACS is unavailable. Radiolinq stores studies with geo-redundant backups and opens them in the browser, so reporting can continue while the primary system is restored.

Do we have to switch off our current PACS?

You can keep it. New studies can be sent to Radiolinq in parallel, and priors can be loaded before the team relies on the cloud viewer.

What if the hospital loses internet?

Readers on that network need connectivity to reach the cloud archive. Teams at other sites, and radiologists working remotely, can still open studies that have already been replicated.

How is imaging data protected?

Storage is encrypted, access is limited by role, and audit trails record activity. Backups are geo-redundant in SOC 2 certified data centres, with the same HIPAA-ready controls used across Radiolinq.

Can teleradiology continue during an outage?

Yes. Studies already in the Radiolinq archive can be routed to available radiologists, with the browser viewer, AI-assisted reporting, and voice dictation.

How do imaging centres start replicating studies?

Most sites begin by sending new DICOM studies to the cloud archive while the current PACS stays online, then load the priors radiologists still compare. Book a demo to map this to your modalities and RIS.
