Search for the best PACS software in India and you get directory listings that rank vendors by how many reviews they have collected, and vendor pages that rank themselves first. Neither tells a hospital what it needs to know: whether the product runs on-premise, whether it comes with a RIS, whether the AI is real or a partner logo, and what it costs. This guide answers those questions vendor by vendor, using only what each vendor states on its own site, checked in September 2026.
It deliberately does not repeat the fundamentals. What a PACS is, how the three deployment models are priced, the global enterprise landscape from Sectra to Orthanc, and the three ways AI reaches a radiology workflow are covered in our global PACS for hospitals buyer's guide. Read that first if you are new to the category; this page is the India shortlist. If your question is about the reporting layer rather than the archive, the guide to radiology reporting software in India is the companion.
How to choose a PACS in India
Six criteria separate the products below more than any feature checklist:
- Deployment model and cost structure. Cloud subscription, per-study fee, on-premise licence plus AMC, or a hosted pay-per-use model. Three Indian vendors publish prices; everyone else quotes. Compare total cost per study over five years, including storage growth and the default retention window (some per-study plans include only days of storage).
- RIS and reporting integration. Whether the RIS is included, a separate module, or something you must already own; and whether the PACS produces reports or only stores images. In India, where the binding constraint is often the radiologist rather than the archive, this decides whether the PACS solves your problem or half of it.
- AI: built in, orchestrated, or a partner logo. Built-in models, an orchestrator that routes to third-party algorithms, AI through partners, or none stated. Ask which specific models are live in India, who validated them, and who acts on a flag at 2 a.m.
- Migration and exit. Bulk DICOM export without per-study fees, DICOMweb access, and no contractual lock on where your own studies may be forwarded. The vendor you are leaving controls how long migration takes; negotiate this before you sign, not when you leave.
- Service and local presence. Where the support team sits, hours of coverage, reference sites of your size in your state, and whether the India page you found is a product page or a placeholder. Global vendors note regional availability limits on their own India pages.
- Data protection and accreditation. Under the DPDP Act the hospital is accountable for patient data handed to processors, so the vendor's own certifications matter (ISO 27001 as baseline; several vendors list ISO 13485 and HIPAA alignment). NABH assessment rewards what a good PACS makes demonstrable: audit trails, access control and retention discipline.
The comparison table
Every cell is taken from the vendor's own website as of 22 September 2026; "not published" means the site does not state it. Vendors change products and pricing, so verify before you buy.

The products, one at a time
Grouped by the kind of product they are, because that is the first decision. Each profile is written from the vendor's own statements; none is written to make anyone look worse.
The integrated route: PACS, AI and reporting as one system
5C SuperPACS
5C Network, BengaluruSuperPACS by 5C Network is the one entry on this list where the archive does not arrive alone. It is built on the production AI infrastructure of a network that reads 15,000+ studies a day for 2,000+ facilities, so the image archive, the Bionic AI engine (pathology detection, structured reporting, automated quality control), the Prodigi radiology information system and a 400+ radiologist reporting network are one system rather than three procurements. Bionic AI and Prodigi are licensed as Class B medical devices under India's Medical Devices Rules, 2017. Disclosure: this is our product. Public specifications, hosting model and pricing are not yet published, and this guide will not invent them; interested facilities register interest, and any facility on an existing DICOM PACS can connect to 5C's reporting in about 72 hours without changing its archive.
Indian enterprise RIS-PACS platforms
Medsynapse RIS-PACS
Medsynaptic, PuneMedsynaptic (founded 2003, Pune) describes Medsynapse as an AI-enabled RIS-PACS-VNA platform that deploys on-premise, in the cloud or in a hybrid setup. The RIS modules cover registration, scheduling, ordering and inventory; the viewer is described as true web-based zero-footprint; and the company states its VNA is the only Indian VNA with US FDA 510(k) clearance. It claims 800+ enterprise PACS installations, 15,000+ licences installed and 25+ countries, and its testimonials name Nanavati Max Hospital and GMC Nagpur. AI is positioned as built in, with a chest X-ray AI launch in January 2025 and third-party tools (TeraRecon) resold alongside. Pricing is by quotation.
RADSpa
Telerad Tech, BengaluruTelerad Tech (established 2009, Bengaluru, with a US office in Pennsylvania) sells RADSpa as an integrated RIS-PACS workflow engine that unifies RIS, PACS and worklist in one environment. It is offered as cloud managed SaaS, hybrid (local reading with cloud archive) or on-premise in Mini, Midi and Enterprise tiers, with a zero-footprint FDA-cleared DICOM viewer and a vendor-neutral archive built on HL7 and IHE standards. On AI, RADVerify reviews every report at sign-off for typographic and grammatical errors, and the platform supports open integration with third-party algorithms. The site states 550+ deployments across 9 countries, 20M+ scans processed and 99.98% uptime, and offers MyRADView, a patient portal for viewing scans online. No India customers are named; pricing is not published.
Imagine PACS / IDS
SoftLink International, PuneSoftLink International (founded 1997, Pune) is a hospital-software company whose PACS is sold as Imagine PACS on its own or inside IDS, the Imaging Diagnostic Suite that combines RIS and PACS; a browser-based ZFP viewer works on phones, tablets and workstations. Hosting is unusually flexible for an Indian vendor: on-premise with all hardware at the customer site, public cloud on AWS or Azure, or a pay-per-use model where SoftLink owns and hosts the hardware. AI and 3D post-processing come through partners rather than in-house. The site states over 450 healthcare institutions in 15 countries and names Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Healthcare, JIPMER and Breach Candy Hospital on its homepage. Pricing is not published.
Indian cloud PACS with published pricing
Nandico Teleradiology PACS
Nandico Healthcare Solutions, Balotra (Rajasthan) and BengaluruNandico Healthcare Solutions (founded 2018; offices in Balotra, Rajasthan and Bengaluru) sells a cloud SaaS PACS aimed at teleradiology groups and diagnostic centres, plus a digital film-sharing product. It is the rare Indian PACS vendor that publishes prices: Telereporting PACS Lite at Rs 900 a month for one centre, one radiologist and 100 cases, rising to an Enterprise plan at Rs 18,000 a month for 20+ centres and 3,000 cases, with zero installation charge, one month of cloud storage included and extended storage at Rs 1 to Rs 5 a case depending on retention. The viewer is a zero-footprint DICOM viewer usable on any device, and the PACS integrates with HL7-compliant HIS. No AI is stated. The site says Nandico is trusted by 25+ teleradiology companies across India.
Gratirad Cloud PACS
Gratirad, Ranchi and KolkataGratirad describes itself as AI-native teleradiology and cloud PACS, deployable in the cloud or on-premise on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Its pricing is public and per study: a Starter plan at Rs 7 per X-ray report and Rs 20 per CT or MRI report (ex-GST) with no commitment, unlimited radiologists and 10 days of image storage; a Commitment plan at Rs 5 and Rs 10 per report with a Rs 10,000 monthly minimum; and an Enterprise plan at Rs 3 and Rs 6 per patient with a Rs 1 lakh setup fee and Rs 50,000 monthly minimum, with extended storage at Rs 1 per six months. Buyers should note the short default storage window. The viewer is zero-footprint with multi-viewer synchronisation; AI is a built-in voice engine for dictation. The site lists HIPAA, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 13485 and DICOM conformance. RIS and customer scale are not published.
CrelioHealth PACS
CrelioHealth, Pune (and Columbia, MD)CrelioHealth is best known for laboratory information software, and its PACS is a cloud bolt-on to that platform: an OHIF-based viewer with 2D multiplanar reconstruction, remote reporting on mobile or desktop, and integration with CrelioHealth Radiology Solutions (its RIS) or any other RIS that supports DICOM. Deployment is cloud only. AI is not part of the PACS; AI solutions are listed as separate offerings, and the RIS carries speech-to-text reporting. Pricing is published in US dollars: a USD 50 monthly minimum plus post-compression storage at USD 0.02 per study (priced at average post-compression study sizes) for CT, USD 0.04 for MRI and USD 0.01 for X-ray and ultrasound, with a free trial. Customer names and scale are not published.
AI-oriented platforms
Augmento Enterprise
DeepTek, PuneDeepTek, a Pune radiology-AI company, positions Augmento Enterprise as a cloud PACS powered by AI and structured reporting. The distinctive claim is vendor neutrality on AI: the platform integrates models developed by DeepTek, models built in-house by an institution, and models from external vendors directly into the reading workflow, and DeepTek describes it as a US FDA-cleared radiology AI deployment platform. It integrates with existing HIS, RIS and PACS rather than replacing the RIS (a separate RIS product is listed). The site states 2,000+ global sites and 100,000+ multi-modality scans processed a month, and names Vijaya Diagnostic Centre (150+ branches), Aarthi Scans, Ruby Hall Clinic, Tata Memorial Hospital and the National Cancer Grid. On-premise options, viewer specifics and pricing are not published.
RadpicsAI MedPACS
RadpicsAI, Navi MumbaiRadpicsAI (Navi Mumbai) sells a modular stack: MedPACS as the archive, MedVIEWER as an HTML5 zero-footprint viewer with MPR, MIP and 3D and a mobile app, MedCARE as an enterprise RIS for hospitals, diagnostic networks and teleradiology operations, and a Reporting Co-Pilot for AI-assisted reporting with BI-RADS, TI-RADS and O-RADS calculators. Deployment is explicitly cloud, on-premise or hybrid, using Docker or orchestration platforms, which is rarer among Indian cloud-first vendors. Studies can be exposed to compatible AI pipelines with results returned into the workflow. The site says it is trusted by leading healthcare institutions but names none; pricing lives on a separate subscription page and is not published on the main site.
Global enterprise vendors with India product pages
Edison True PACS
GE HealthCare (India product page)GE HealthCare's India site carries a PACS and AI orchestration page for Edison True PACS, which bundles Universal Viewer, Enterprise Archive and Centricity Universal Viewer Zero Footprint with an AI Orchestrator provided by Blackford Analysis that is designed to integrate third-party AI clinical applications and connect to existing PACS, worklists and VNAs. GE describes the product as cloud-enabled, with a footnote that the cloud or SaaS option is not available in all regions. There is no RIS in the bundle; GE emphasises connectivity to third-party RIS, CVIS and EMR systems. No India customers or pricing are published. A natural fit where the modalities are already GE and the hospital wants a managed marketplace of AI rather than a single vendor's models.
HealthSuite Imaging (Vue PACS)
Philips (India product page)Philips' India site lists HealthSuite Imaging, its cloud PACS built on Vue PACS, in two forms: full cloud deployment hosting all imaging services on Amazon Web Services, or hybrid deployment combining on-premises and cloud components, under a managed service contract guaranteeing 99.99% uptime. Interactive multimedia reporting is a native module of the diagnostic workspace, while the RIS and the clinical repository (VNA) are sold as related products. AI arrives through AI Manager, which gives radiologists access to Philips and third-party applications, and the enterprise viewer is described as vendor-agnostic and zero-footprint. The page states that HealthSuite Imaging may not be available in all regions and asks buyers to consult a local Philips representative; no India customers or pricing are published.
Synapse PACS
Fujifilm (India product page)Fujifilm's India site carries product pages for Synapse PACS and Synapse VNA. The PACS is described as 100% web-based, intuitive and scalable, using Fujifilm's Access over Network compression to deliver images in under two seconds, with mammography functionality and XDS natively enabled. The VNA stores and manages both DICOM and non-DICOM objects and, Fujifilm states, has connected more third-party systems than any other VNA over 16 years. The RIS is a separate product (Synapse RIS, sold within the Synapse Enterprise Information System and described on the US site as working behind the scenes within Synapse PACS). The India pages do not state a cloud or on-premise model, do not mention AI, and name no India customers; pricing is by quotation.
Open source
Orthanc
Open source (originated at University Hospital of Liège)Orthanc is not sold in India or anywhere else: it is a free, open-source, lightweight DICOM server, released under GPLv3+ in 2012 by Sébastien Jodogne at University Hospital of Liège, that can turn any computer running Windows, Linux or macOS into a DICOM store, in its own words a mini-PACS. Its distinguishing feature is a RESTful API, which is why it is the usual backend for self-built or research archives, typically paired with the OHIF web viewer. There is no RIS, no AI and no vendor; scalability and cloud plugins carry the stronger AGPLv3+ licence, dual licensing is no longer offered, and pre-paid support hours are available from Orthanc Team. The licence is free; the hosting, hardening, backups and 2 a.m. support are yours. The global guide covers the open-source stack in more depth.
Also in Indian search results, and why they are not profiled
- Adrine (Lucent). Gandhinagar-based Adrine's radiology product page reads "Lucent is coming soon" as of September 2026, with a launch-notification form; there is no purchasable PACS to compare yet. Its live products are a HIS and clinic software.
- Sectra. The Best in KLAS benchmark globally (13 consecutive years, by its own count), but Sectra's site lists direct sales in 18 countries and does not list India among them or on its contact page. Evaluate it via a partner if you want it on the shortlist; it is profiled in the global guide.
- Suvarna RIS-PACS. Sold as a module of Suvarna Technosoft's HIMS (Hyderabad); the product page publishes too little detail on deployment, viewer or AI to compare fairly.
- Meddiff. A Bengaluru PACS vendor often listed alongside Medsynapse; RamSoft took a majority stake in July 2021 and the meddiff.com domain now redirects to ramsoft.com. It is not the maker of Medsynapse.
Where 5C SuperPACS fits
Every other product in this guide gives you an archive and leaves two decisions open: which AI to buy, and who will read the studies. In markets with deep radiologist coverage those are separable questions. In India, with roughly one radiologist per 100,000 people, the archive is usually the easy half, and many hospitals end up pairing a modest PACS with an outsourced reporting layer anyway.
5C SuperPACS is built for that reality. It is 5C Network's PACS, built on the production AI infrastructure that already reads 15,000+ studies a day for 2,000+ facilities, so the archive, the Bionic AI engine, the Prodigi RIS and a 400+ radiologist reporting network are one system rather than three procurements and two integration projects. The honest framing:
- Choose SuperPACS if a PACS decision is in your next planning cycle and you want the PACS, the AI and the reporting to be one decision; or you are opening a facility without an in-house radiologist and would rather not buy the archive and then go looking for reads.
- Choose something else on this list if you need published specifications and a spec sheet today (SuperPACS specifications and pricing are not yet public), you need a self-hosted open-source backend, or you want a specific global vendor's ecosystem across cardiology and pathology too.
- Do nothing to your PACS if the archive works and only turnaround hurts. That is not a PACS problem: 5C connects to any DICOM PACS in this guide in about 72 hours with no hardware, and the reports come back into the workflow you already have.
The SuperPACS product page lists exactly what 5C publishes today and what to ask us, item by item.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best PACS software for a small hospital in India?
There is no single best PACS for a small Indian hospital; it depends on whether the constraint is the archive or the reporting. If a hospital has its own radiologist and simply needs to archive and view studies, cloud PACS with published, low-commitment pricing is the shortest path: Nandico lists plans from Rs 900 a month for one centre, one radiologist and 100 cases, Gratirad lists per-study rates from Rs 7 per X-ray and Rs 20 per CT or MRI report, and SoftLink offers a pay-per-use model where it hosts the hardware. If the hospital has no in-house radiologist, the archive is the easy half of the problem: it can keep or buy any DICOM PACS and connect it to 5C Network's reporting in about 72 hours, or consider 5C SuperPACS, where the archive arrives with the Bionic AI engine and a 400+ radiologist reporting network already attached. Whichever route, insist on a demonstration with your own studies and check the default storage window; some per-study plans include as little as 10 days.
Cloud PACS vs on-premise PACS in India: which is better?
Cloud is where most new Indian PACS purchases are going, because multi-location access, remote reporting and a smaller IT footprint matter more to diagnostic chains and mid-size hospitals than local control does; on-premise still suits a high-volume single site with a capable IT team, unreliable bandwidth or a strict data-localisation requirement. The Indian market supports both. Medsynapse, RADSpa, SoftLink Imagine PACS, RadpicsAI and Gratirad all state cloud and on-premise (and, for the first four, hybrid) options; Nandico, CrelioHealth and DeepTek Augmento are cloud platforms; Philips HealthSuite Imaging is full cloud on AWS or hybrid; GE describes Edison True PACS as cloud-enabled with regional limits on SaaS. Whichever model you choose, ask where the data resides, what encryption applies in transit and at rest, which certifications the vendor itself holds (ISO 27001 as baseline, relevant under the DPDP Act), and what the archive export terms are if you leave. The global PACS guide on this site compares the cost structures of the three models in detail.
What does a PACS cost in India?
Most vendors quote rather than publish, but three Indian vendors do publish prices as of September 2026, which gives real anchors. Nandico lists Telereporting PACS Lite at Rs 900 a month (one centre, one radiologist, 100 cases) rising to an Enterprise plan at Rs 18,000 a month (20+ centres, 3,000 cases), with one month of cloud storage included and extended storage at Rs 1 to Rs 5 a case. Gratirad lists a Starter plan at Rs 7 per X-ray report and Rs 20 per CT or MRI report (ex-GST) with 10 days of storage, a Commitment plan at Rs 5 and Rs 10 with a Rs 10,000 monthly minimum, and an Enterprise plan at Rs 3 and Rs 6 per patient with a Rs 1 lakh setup fee and Rs 50,000 monthly minimum. CrelioHealth lists a USD 50 monthly minimum plus storage at USD 0.02 per study (priced at average post-compression study sizes) for CT, USD 0.04 for MRI and USD 0.01 for X-ray. Medsynapse, RADSpa, SoftLink, RadpicsAI, DeepTek, GE HealthCare, Philips, Fujifilm and 5C SuperPACS do not publish pricing. For quoted products, the cost drivers are the same everywhere: modality mix and annual study volume, retention period and storage growth, number of sites and users, hosting model, RIS and HIS interface work, and the annual maintenance contract on on-premise licences. Compare total cost per study over five years, not the year-one price.
Do I need a RIS as well as a PACS?
Usually yes, in some form: the PACS stores and displays images, while the RIS schedules patients, manages worklists, tracks studies and carries reporting and billing. Whether you need to buy one depends on the PACS. Medsynapse, RADSpa and CrelioHealth PACS ship with an integrated RIS; SoftLink bundles RIS and PACS in its IDS suite; RadpicsAI sells MedCARE as a separate RIS module; Philips makes reporting native to the PACS but sells the RIS separately; Fujifilm sells Synapse RIS separately; GE's Edison True PACS has no RIS and connects to third-party systems; Nandico, Gratirad and DeepTek Augmento integrate with an existing HIS or RIS rather than including one. 5C SuperPACS includes Prodigi, 5C Network's AI-native RIS, as part of the same system. If your HIS already has a radiology module you are happy with, a PACS that integrates over HL7 is enough; if it does not, an integrated RIS-PACS avoids a second procurement and a second interface project.
Which PACS in India has AI built in?
As stated on the vendors' own sites: Medsynapse describes inbuilt AI workflows and launched a chest X-ray AI in January 2025; DeepTek Augmento is built as a vendor-neutral AI deployment platform that runs DeepTek, in-house and third-party models; RadpicsAI ships a Reporting Co-Pilot and exposes studies to compatible AI pipelines; RADSpa includes RADVerify report checking and open integration with third-party algorithms; Gratirad's built-in AI is a medical speech-to-text engine. GE HealthCare and Philips take the orchestrator route, with GE's AI Orchestrator (provided by Blackford Analysis) and Philips' AI Manager routing studies to third-party applications, and SoftLink offers AI through partners. Nandico, CrelioHealth's PACS, Fujifilm's India pages and Orthanc state no built-in AI. 5C SuperPACS is different in kind: the Bionic AI engine (pathology detection, structured reporting, automated quality control) and the 400+ radiologists who review and sign every AI pre-read are part of the same system as the archive, so the output is a signed report rather than an AI flag. Remember that you rarely need to replace a PACS to get AI: any DICOM-compliant archive on this list can forward studies to AI tools or to 5C's reporting.
How long does PACS migration take in India?
No vendor in this guide publishes a migration timeline, and any number printed here would be a guess. What is knowable is what drives it: the size of the existing archive and how many years of priors you migrate, whether your current vendor's contract allows bulk DICOM export without per-study fees, the number of modalities to re-point, the HIS and RIS interfaces to rebuild, and how much user retraining the new viewer needs. Full archive migrations between vendors are typically projects measured in months, which is why exit terms belong in the contract before you sign. Two things are faster and should not be confused with migration: connecting an existing PACS to an outside reporting service, which 5C Network does over standard DICOM in about 72 hours with no hardware, and switching on a cloud PACS for a new centre with no legacy archive, which the per-study vendors above sell on a no-installation basis. For 5C SuperPACS, migration scope is quoted per site.
Who makes Medsynapse PACS: Medsynaptic or Meddiff?
Medsynapse is the flagship RIS-PACS of Medsynaptic Pvt Ltd, headquartered in Pune, whose website leads with Medsynapse RIS-PACS-VNA. Meddiff Technologies is a different company, based in Bengaluru, with its own PACS line; RamSoft announced a majority stake in Meddiff in July 2021, and as of September 2026 the meddiff.com domain redirects to ramsoft.com. The two are often confused in Indian search results and vendor lists. If a quotation says Medsynapse, you are dealing with Medsynaptic.
What is 5C SuperPACS?
5C SuperPACS is 5C Network's PACS: a picture archiving and communication system built on the production AI infrastructure of a radiology network that reads 15,000+ studies a day for 2,000+ facilities, in which the image archive, the Bionic AI engine (pathology detection, structured reporting, automated quality control), the Prodigi radiology information system and a 400+ radiologist reporting network operate as one system. It is aimed at hospitals and diagnostic centres that want the PACS, the AI and the reporting to arrive together rather than as three procurements. Public specifications and pricing are not yet published; the product page explains what is published and what to ask, and facilities on any existing DICOM PACS can connect to 5C's reporting in about 72 hours in the meantime.
