CosmiPACS

Enterprise PACS was never built for a practice your size. CosmiPACS is.

For decades, real medical image management meant six-figure licenses, servers in a closet, and rollouts that dragged on for months. That doesn't work for solo and small-group practices. So they got by on burned CDs, a shared drive, and email attachments. CosmiPACS puts it all in the cloud: storage, a viewer that works, and secure sharing with referring physicians without worrying. Priced for the 99% of practices the enterprise vendors never bother to cater to.

Built for the practices enterprise PACS forgot

If your practice generates imaging and needs to keep it safe and share it easily, CosmiPACS is sized for you.

Solo & small-group radiologists

Store and manage studies without an enterprise PACS or a server room. CosmiPACS gives you cloud storage, a web viewer, and secure sharing sized for a practice your size.

Specialty practices with imaging

Orthopedics, urgent care, cardiology, and other clinics with on-site imaging get compliant storage and easy sharing without standing up hospital-grade infrastructure.

Veterinary clinics

Manage and share imaging studies for your animal patients with the same cloud-first PACS designed for medical practices.

Research & multi-site groups

Keep a compliant, auditable DICOM archive in the cloud and share studies across locations and collaborators through secure, expiring links.

Three things a small practice needs from a PACS

What actually matters for a small practice when choosing a PACS.

Share studies securely, in seconds

Send imaging to referring physicians, specialists, and patients through secure links that expire on your terms. Every link is protected by a second factor (a one-time passcode, a passphrase, or the patient's date of birth), can be capped by time or view count, and is revocable the instant you need it gone. Recipients view in the browser and download the DICOM files, with nothing to install and no account to create.

  • Second-factor protection on every link, never token-only
  • Instantly revocable, with a full access log for every view
  • No portal or software for the recipient to deal with

Compliant archiving that protects itself

CosmiPACS keeps your studies safe for the long haul. A built-in retention floor keeps images immutable for years to satisfy medical record requirements, while older studies move automatically to low-cost cold storage so you are not paying premium rates to keep history around. Everything is backed by an immutable audit trail and exportable compliance reporting.

  • Multi-year immutable retention floor by default
  • Automatic cold-storage tiering to cut long-term costs
  • Immutable audit trail and exportable compliance reports

Cloud-first, built for the 99%

No PACS server to buy, patch, or house. No six-figure contract. CosmiPACS runs in the cloud and works with the modalities you already own: newer equipment can send studies straight to the cloud over DICOMweb, and for older or lower-end machines that do not, our lightweight local gateway forwards images for you. Everything opens in a modern web viewer from anywhere. It is the enterprise capability small practices have been priced out of, delivered as a simple service.

  • Zero on-site PACS hardware to maintain
  • Direct DICOMweb send where your modality supports it
  • Local gateway forwarding for equipment that does not
  • Modern browser-based viewing from anywhere

Standards-based, so it fits the equipment you already own

CosmiPACS speaks DICOM, the universal language of medical imaging. If your CT, MR, ultrasound, or X-ray modality supports DICOMweb, it can send studies directly to the cloud. Many older or lower-end machines do not, so for those we provide a lightweight local gateway that installs on a small on-site machine and forwards images to CosmiPACS for you. Either way, there is no rip-and-replace, no proprietary hardware, and no machines to retire before you can get started.

Compliance built in, not bolted on

Patient imaging is some of the most sensitive data your practice holds. CosmiPACS is engineered so that the safe choice is the default.

HIPAA-aligned, BAA available

Engineered around HIPAA requirements with a Business Associate Agreement available for your practice.

AES-256 PHI encryption

Protected health information is encrypted with AES-256, with per-organization data isolation at the database layer.

Immutable retention

A write-once retention floor keeps medical imaging records tamper-proof for years to support your record-keeping obligations.

Full audit trail

Every login, upload, view, share, and archival event is recorded to an immutable log you can export for compliance review.

CosmiPACS provides technical safeguards that support HIPAA compliance. It is not, on its own, a complete compliance program, and full compliance also depends on your practice's policies and procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CosmiPACS?

CosmiPACS is a cloud-first PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) built for solo and small-group medical and veterinary practices. It lets your practice store, view, and share DICOM studies from any modality, with secure external sharing and compliant long-term archiving, without the cost and complexity of a traditional enterprise PACS. CosmiPACS is a Cosmistack product and is preparing to launch.

Who is CosmiPACS for?

CosmiPACS is designed for the practices that legacy enterprise PACS vendors overlook: solo radiologists, small imaging centers, veterinary clinics, and specialty practices with on-site imaging such as orthopedics, urgent care, and cardiology. If you generate DICOM studies and need to store, view, and share them securely without a six-figure contract or an on-site server room, CosmiPACS is built for you.

Is CosmiPACS HIPAA compliant?

CosmiPACS is built HIPAA-aligned from the ground up, and a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available. Protected health information is encrypted with AES-256, each organization's data is isolated at the database level, and every access and lifecycle event is written to an immutable audit trail. As with any technology, HIPAA compliance also depends on your practice's own policies and procedures, but CosmiPACS is engineered so that safe defaults keep you protected.

Does CosmiPACS work with my existing imaging equipment?

Yes. CosmiPACS is standards-based and speaks DICOM, so it works with the CT, MR, ultrasound, X-ray, and other modalities you already own. If your equipment supports DICOMweb, it can send studies directly to the cloud. Many older or lower-end modalities do not support DICOMweb (or its API key and OAuth authentication), so for those you deploy our lightweight local gateway, which installs on a small on-site machine and forwards images to CosmiPACS. Either path works with your existing equipment, so you do not need to replace your machines to use CosmiPACS.

Do I need an on-site server or IT staff to run CosmiPACS?

No. CosmiPACS is cloud-first, so there is no PACS server to buy, patch, back up, or house in a closet. Studies are stored securely in the cloud and viewed through a modern web browser. That removes the hardware, maintenance, and disaster-recovery burden that makes traditional PACS impractical for small practices.

How is CosmiPACS different from a traditional enterprise PACS?

Traditional PACS were built for large hospital systems: six-figure licenses, on-site servers, long implementations, and complexity that a small practice will never use. CosmiPACS strips that down to what small practices actually need, delivered as a cloud service. You get secure study sharing, compliant archiving, and a modern viewer without the enterprise price tag, the hardware, or the vendor lock-in.

How does secure study sharing work?

CosmiPACS lets you share studies with referring physicians, specialists, or patients through secure links that expire and are always protected by a second factor such as a one-time passcode, a passphrase, or the patient's date of birth. Links can be limited by time or view count, revoked instantly, and every access is logged. Recipients view studies in their browser and can download the DICOM files, with no account or software to install on their end.

Is CosmiPACS' viewer FDA approved?

No, the CosmiPACS viewer is not FDA approved. It is intended for reference use only in small practices to securely managed and share imaging studies. It is not intended for primary diagnostic use which requires an end-to-end FDA-approved workflow. It does, however, facilitate secure and convenient study sharing, making it perfect for small practices who work with remote radiologists to read studies off-site on appropriate workstations.
