Studycast

Studycast is a cloud-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) platform for medical practices that need to capture, review, document, and deliver diagnostic studies. Its structured worksheets allow healthcare practitioners to extract compatible measurements from imaging modalities into the relevant reporting fields. Additionally, the software provides browser-based access to physicians to let them review studies and approve reports without the need for a local workstation. 

What Is Studycast Best For? 

The platform is well known for its bidirectional EHR-integrated automation of the entire imaging workflow, which connects data in both directions. Patient worklists, demographics, and order details move from the EHR system to the Studycast software and the imaging modality. It gives staff the required information before actual scanning begins. After the study is completed and approved, the final report returns to the EHR automatically. The system reduces repeated data entry and keeps imaging records connected to the patient’s clinical record. 

How Much Does Studycast Cost? 

The Studycast price range is estimated to fall between $100–$300/user/month. However, actual cost may vary depending on an organization’s size and needs. Besides the fixed subscription charges, users should also account for the total cost of ownership. It includes, but is not limited to, the following: 

• Implementation And Onboarding: Approximately $2,000–$10,000 for setup and workflow deployment 
• EHR/EMR Integration: Likely to be around $1,000–$10,000 for API and patient-data connectivity 
• DICOM Connectivity: Potentially $1,000–$5,000 for imaging-system integration 
• Medical Specialty Workflows: Typically costs $1,000–$5,000 for specialty templates and reporting customization 
• Imaging Data Migration: Estimated to fall between $2,000–$10,000 for transferring historical studies 
• Clinical User Training: Might add up to $500–$3,000 for administrator training 
• Advanced Customization: Possibly ranges between $2,000–$15,000 for complex APIs and multi-site workflows

Studycast Integrations 

The software provides various AI partner integrations, including: 

• Echo IQ – EchoSolv 
• Us2.ai 
• Ultromics – EchoGo

How Does Studycast Work? 

Here's how you can get started with the platform after logging into the system: 

• Review the worklist to see incoming studies and their current status 
• Set up the relevant study routing for physicians and other assigned staff 
• Check that imaging studies and modality measurements are appearing in the correct records 
• Open reporting worksheets to review study-specific fields and automatically populated measurements 
• Assign priority or routing rules for cases that require faster physician review 
• Monitor completed reports and confirm that approved reports are routed to the connected EHR 
• Give each staff member access to the areas and tasks relevant to their role

Who Is Studycast For? 

Studycast is suitable for healthcare professionals working in the following specialties and fields: 

• Cardiology 
• Veterinary medicine 
• Vascular imaging 
• Women’s health

Studycast Use Cases 

Based on Studycast’s current capabilities, we have identified several situations where the platform may be a strong fit, including: 

Cardiology Practices Handling Time-Sensitive Echo Reporting 

Cardiology teams frequently experience delays between completing an echo and getting the study to the interpreting physician. Additionally, manual measurement entries can result in even more errors. Studycast software connects the imaging, reporting, and physician review stages to allow cardiology practices to manage echo studies without keeping every reading tied to a specific workstation. 

Vascular Labs Managing High-Volume Duplex Studies 

The system is suitable for vascular labs that handle different duplex study types throughout OBL, ASC, and hospital locations. It supports structured vascular reporting and keeps study activity consistent between sites. The software helps groups working under shared accreditation requirements, where physicians and administrators need a common record of study activity and quality review. 

OB/GYN Practices Tracking Imaging Across Pregnancies 

OB/GYN and maternal-fetal medicine practices have to compare measurements throughout multiple visits as part of the long pregnancy journey. In such situations, a scattered and divided imaging process can make previous studies harder to review, which can result in delayed communication with referring providers. The platform brings current and previous pregnancy imaging into the same review area. 

Academic Programs Giving Students More Scanning Time 

Studycast can support sonography and imaging programs where students need hands-on access to scanning equipment, and instructors need separate time to review their work. Instead of requiring instructors to occupy the same modality for grading, the platform allows them to review studies remotely. It also allows research teams to maintain large archives and prepare anonymous studies for research purposes. 

Veterinary Practices Coordinating Remote Radiology Reads 

The software also helps veterinary practices that regularly send imaging studies to external radiologists. These clinics handle different species and imaging protocols during the same working day, which makes it difficult to maintain a consistent process. Studycast allows practices to route studies for specialist interpretation while allowing professionals to retain imaging for future referrals or follow-up care. 

Is Studycast Right For You? 

If your healthcare practice needs structured reporting with cloud-based image management, then Studycast might be an efficient solution. It processes more than 4.4 million images annually and provides over 140 study-specific worksheets. Additionally, the software strictly follows HIPAA, PIPEDA, and SOC 2 Type I compliance standards. It also provides encrypted storage, role-based access, and audit trails to secure sensitive user data. The platform is capable of meeting the needs of large practices and hospitals. 

In recent years, the imaging market has been moving towards cloud PACS and incorporating AI tools in clinical imaging. Studycast already supports browser-based access and integrations with imaging AI tools, though its focus remains stronger on reporting and image management rather than built-in diagnostic AI.
