A phased rollout beginning with high-volume imaging sites, use of the DICOM standard, early involvement of radiologists and facility IT teams, and integration with the clinical workflow in Sanarip Clinic have supported adoption. Centralized monitoring, role-based access, auditability, clear equipment-integration requirements, and preservation of prior studies improve scalability, patient safety, and long-term sustainability. Remote interpretation should be introduced together with agreed service-level expectations and clinical responsibility rules.
Implementation requires integration with heterogeneous radiology equipment, stable transfer of large DICOM studies, sufficient central storage capacity, and reliable connectivity between facilities. Other challenges include migration from local and film-based archives, cybersecurity and access-control requirements, alignment of radiology workflows across organizations, and training clinicians and radiology personnel to consistently use electronic orders, reports, and remote viewing tools.
