MiniPACS + Vendo

For independent imaging centers

Mini is the price. Not the feature list.

Self-hosted PACS and referral portal for independent imaging clinics. Own your image archive, read any scan in any browser, nothing installed. Referring doctors book and track visits themselves. One server, from $300 flat.

Real apps on synthetic data: enter a work email, get a one-time link.

Every lost disc or unanswered fax sends the next patient elsewhere. Two apps on one clinic server retire the cloud PACS, fax and CD burner.

MiniPACS

replaces the cloud PACS

The clinic's image archive on its own server. CT, MR, US, X-ray send straight to it: studies land on the worklist typically within about a minute and open in any browser, nothing installed. The audit log is append-only, even with the database password.

Vendo

replaces the fax

The referral portal referring offices log into. A doctor sends a patient in one minute: picks a real open slot and watches the status - referred, scheduled, read. Nobody calls your front desk. Referring doctors are free, unlimited. Easy booking keeps them referring.

Two doctors can't win the same slot

Claims are atomic; a failed write releases the slot. The slower doctor sees it's gone.

Every referral re-checks pregnancy and allergy status fresh

Captured per-referral, never off an old profile. A pregnancy override needs the ordering physician's written reason on record.
