What practice owners and imaging managers ask before switching IT provider.
Do you replace our PACS or RIS vendor?
No. We manage the environment your PACS and RIS run on and coordinate the vendors, so DICOM pathways, interfaces, storage, and backups have one accountable owner. Where a practice wants a RIS from the team that supports it, ClariRad RIS is the radiology information system Trucell builds and supports in Australia, but managing your existing platforms well is the default, not a sales pitch.
How is this different from your PACS and RIS managed service?
Our PACS and RIS managed service is the deep technical layer: DICOM pathways, worklists, interfaces, storage tiers, and imaging application operations. Radiology practice IT support is the whole practice view built around it: helpdesk for your staff, network, reading room displays, backup, security, and Medicare adjacent workflow products. Many practices start with one and grow into the other; both come from the same Parramatta based team.
What happens when a modality stops sending studies during a list?
You call one number. Because we run the network, the servers, and the PACS environment together, we triage the modality, the DICOM pathway, and the storage as one system instead of opening tickets with three vendors. Where the fix sits with a modality or PACS vendor, we manage that conversation with the technical detail already gathered, so the list restarts sooner.
How do you prove our imaging archive backups actually work?
With restores, not reports. We verify archive and RIS database backups by restoring real data, document recovery times, and keep the evidence current, so retention obligations and continuity plans rest on tested outcomes. If you cannot remember the last time someone restored a prior study from backup, that is usually the first gap we close.
Can you support teleradiology and radiologists reading from home?
Yes. We design and support secure remote reading: VPN and bandwidth sized for study transfer, workstation builds, display QA at the radiologist's desk, and access controls aligned to our ISO 27001 program. Multi site groups and after hours reading arrangements are part of the same design conversation.
What makes Trucell different from a generalist MSP for a radiology practice?
Radiology is our home ground, not a vertical on a brochure. We have spent almost two decades supporting radiology and medical imaging across 50+ healthcare sites, our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification scope explicitly includes PACS/DICOM administration, we hold an annual SOC 2 Type II report with IRAP assessed security operations, and we build radiology workflow products (RADForms, ClariRad RIS, Smart Kiosk, eOrdering) that run inside practices like yours.
