Radiology reporting for hospitals and emergency departments when your own radiologist is unavailable
Annual leave, sick leave, an unstaffed night shift or a sudden increase in study volume. We provide full X-ray, CT, MRI and mammography reporting coverage or complement your in-house team, including emergency departments and admissions units, with emergency (CITO) X-ray and CT reports delivered within the contractual 2-hour turnaround time, 24/7/365.
On working days we reply within a few hours. The phone line for urgent matters is available 24/7, including public holidays.
1When we help
Three situations hospital directors call us about
Each comes down to one question: who will report the study when your own team does not have sufficient capacity?
Gaps in radiology cover
A gap in the radiology rota, planned or sudden, can halt reporting for an imaging department or an emergency department. Our reporting centre never closes and studies are reported by a team of 190+ radiologists (company data, as of 23 September 2026), so continuity of reporting does not depend on the availability of a single radiologist.
More studies than your team can report
A new CT scanner, a new contract or seasonal demand can increase the number of studies faster than a radiologist can be hired. We take on the additional volume in a hybrid model: selected priorities, hours or modalities, for example CT and MRI where the on-site radiologist reports X-ray only. When the volume changes, we adjust the scope by agreement with the facility, with no need to recruit additional staff.
No subspecialist on site
An oncological, neuroradiological or vascular study requires a radiologist with the relevant subspecialty expertise, which a smaller facility does not employ. We route such studies to subspecialists in the team: oncology, neuroradiology, head and neck, musculoskeletal, chest, breast and vascular imaging.
2Contractual turnaround times
Turnaround is written into the contract, not just into a brochure
Three reporting priorities, with the emergency (CITO) turnaround being the most critical. We measure it from the moment the study request is received in the teleradiology system.
The table scrolls sideways.

as agreed
Evidence rather than a claim: 97% of emergency reports were delivered within 2 hours (company data, 2017 to September 2026; definition: Results and data).
Legal context
Polish regulations do not set a maximum turnaround
The Polish Minister of Health regulation on organisational standards in teleradiology (Journal of Laws 2019 item 834, amended by Journal of Laws 2026 item 362, in force since 2 April 2026) does not specify how fast a report must be produced. The reporting turnaround is therefore determined contractually rather than by a statutory maximum, so it is worth checking whether a provider writes it into the contract and measures it in the system rather than merely declaring it. The 2026 amendment does impose duties on the referring facility: clinical information about the patient and prior imaging studies must accompany the imaging request. During onboarding we agree with the facility how this data reaches us together with the request.
3Report quality
Who is responsible for a report and what happens when you have doubts
Every radiology report is a medical document attributable to a named radiologist and produced within a defined clinical process. This is how it works with us.
Medical triage of emergency studies
At peak times, radiology residents perform the initial medical triage of on-call studies and mark the urgency of each request, while medical coordinators make sure emergency (CITO) studies are reported within the contractual turnaround time. A study with suspected stroke or pulmonary embolism is reported before studies of stable patients, and a suspected stroke or other immediately life-threatening case flagged by the facility is taken up for reporting as soon as it is flagged.
Report review and contact with the radiologist
If you have a question or concern about a report, you can request a review through the teleradiology system. Where clinically justified, the report is amended or the referring clinician can speak directly with the reporting radiologist. Urgent matters go to the 24/7 customer service office: +48 500 093 393.
Medical supervision and report audit
Medical supervision: Dr Magdalena Hevelke, Medical Director. Medical audit: Prof. Jerzy Walecki, Medical Consultant, reviews around 30 randomly selected reports each month on a scale of 1 to 5; the Medical Director reviews the results on an ongoing basis. A re-consultation request submitted in the system goes directly to the reporting radiologist, who responds within 24 hours, or immediately for life-threatening cases; formal complaints receive a written response within 14 days (Telediagnosis ISO 9001 procedures, abridged version 1.3, 16 October 2026). CT, MRI and mammography studies are reported by a specialist in radiology and diagnostic imaging; X-ray studies by a specialist or, with the written consent of the head of their specialty training, by a radiology resident. The reporting doctor signs the report with an electronic signature accepted for medical records.
4What we report
Four modalities, one team
We agree the scope with the facility at the start and adjust it by mutual agreement when needs change.
X-ray
Digital radiography: musculoskeletal, chest and abdominal radiographs.
CT
Head and stroke, chest and pulmonary embolism, aorta and vascular imaging, abdomen and pelvis, major trauma.
MRI
Brain and spine, musculoskeletal, abdomen and pelvis, oncology, prostate.
Mammography
Diagnostic and screening digital mammography.
5How we connect
Two integration routes, with no changes required to your scanners
DICOM goes live in 1 working day, HL7 in about a week on average, after the access device is installed. We start with the route that gets reporting live fastest, while the second integration can be implemented in parallel.
Standard integration route
DICOM
Studies reach us straight from the facility system, and the electronically signed report is downloaded from our platform as a PDF and an HL7 CDA document. Study requests and their status are tracked in the platform.
Go-live: 1 working day after installing the access device
Integration is priced individually for each facility
No changes to scanners; only the access device is installed on the facility network
Integrated workflow
HL7
Our system integrates with the hospital's RIS or HIS in the background. Staff request studies and receive reports in their own RIS or HIS without changing how they work.
Go-live: 3 working days to 3 weeks after installing the access device, about a week on average, depending on the RIS vendor
PDF report with an electronic signature accepted for medical records plus an HL7 CDA document that the facility submits to the national P1 platform (responsibility for submission to P1 remains with the facility)
Over 80 HL7 integrations delivered (company data, as of 23 September 2026), including systems from Agfa, Alteris, CGM, Digra, Eskulap, Medinet, Mediqus, Orion, Pergamon, Philips, Pixel, Radpoint, Resqmed, Softmed and Synektik (vendor list as of 12 October 2026)
Good to know
DICOM first, then HL7
The HL7 integration date depends on the RIS vendor's schedule, which we do not control. While waiting, we set up a DICOM connection: the facility receives reports from the first working day after the access device is installed, and the switch to HL7 happens without a gap in reporting.
6Terms
Flexible contract terms
You pay for completed reports, with no subscription and no minimum number of studies. If your facility’s needs change, the scope of cooperation can be changed during the contract by mutual agreement: permanently, seasonally or for nights and weekends only.
Contract
Subcontracting agreement on the Telediagnosis template or the facility’s own, with electronic signature available
No minimum volume and no cap on the number of studies
Scope of cooperation adjusted by agreement with the facility when its staffing changes
Hybrid model: we supplement your own team at night, at weekends, during leave or for subspecialty studies
Reporting workstations, diagnostic monitors and software licences provided by Telediagnosis
IT support during onboarding and day-to-day operation is part of the contract: integration on our side and ongoing technical assistance
Billing
Billing per completed report, according to the price list agreed with the facility
No charge for idle time: you pay for reports, not for hours in which a radiologist is paid while there are no studies to report; the risk of variable workload sits with the reporting centre
By the 5th of the following month: an encrypted statement of completed reports from the system (type, date, number) and the invoice
Individual pricing based on the facility’s actual volume by modality and priority
A separate billing contact, independent of the account manager
Public healthcare providers need a partner who understands NFZ subcontracting requirements and has the required documentation ready from the outset.
Documents and registers
Registered with all 16 regional branches of the National Health Fund (NFZ); subcontracting in hospital treatment and outpatient specialist care
Healthcare provider register (RPWDL) entry no. 000000191873, professional liability insurance, consent to NFZ audits written into the contract
ISO 9001 for the whole company Telediagnosis Sp. z o.o.; ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for the Radpoint teleradiology system in which patient data is processed (certificate held by the system vendor)
Experience with the public sector
72% of our clients are public facilities: independent public healthcare institutions, county, municipal, regional and university hospitals (company data, among 115 facilities invoiced in January–February 2026)
About 60 of the 251 hospital emergency departments in Poland, about 24% (251: emergency department records in the RPRM system, as of 6 October 2026; about 60: company estimate)
Registering the subcontractor in the NFZ portal (SZOI): we support the facility throughout the registration process; the set of documents depends on the regional branch and the type of contract
