• POC ultrasound
• Mammography
- Critical dental imaging requirements
• Storage, retrieval, and management of dental imaging
• Integration with epic patient records
• Compatibility with existing or future dental imaging systems
• Seamless integration into enterprise imaging workflows
- Enterprise imaging expansion
• Neurology
• Endoscopy
• Laboratory imaging-related workflows
• Surgical and perioperative imaging
• Clearly describe enterprise imaging scalability approach
• Demonstrate how new departments are on-boarded without disruption
• Provide examples of similar multi-department deployments
• Explain governance and architecture for enterprise expansion
• Centralized imaging governance
• Standardized epic-based access across departments
• Seamless onboarding of new specialties
• Unified patient imaging record across modalities
- System requirements
1. Compatibility
• Full Dicom compliance required
• Support for all current and future imaging modalities
• Ability to ingest legacy imaging formats
2. Scalability (critical)
• Cloud-native or hybrid architecture preferred

• Real-time synchronization of:
• Orders
• Imaging studies
• Reports
• Patient demographics
4. User interface
• Intuitive, role-based design
• Custom dashboards for radiology and cardiology
• Minimal training requirements for standard use
5. Advanced visualization
• 3d rendering and reconstruction
• Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR)
• Cardiology advanced visualization tools
• Measurement and annotation tools.
