5C SuperPACS
SuperPACS by 5C Network is a 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, the Prodigi RIS and a 400+ radiologist reporting network operate as one system.
By 5C Network
TL;DR
5C SuperPACS is the PACS in which the archive, the AI and the reporting are one system. Most hospitals buy a PACS from one vendor, AI from a second and reporting capacity from a third, then own the seams between them. SuperPACS by 5C Network is built on the production infrastructure that already reads 15,000+ studies a day for 2,000+ facilities, so the image archive, the Bionic AI engine, the Prodigi RIS and a 400+ radiologist reporting network arrive together. Public specifications are not yet published; hospitals and diagnostic centres can register interest, and any facility on an existing DICOM PACS can connect to 5C's reporting in about 72 hours today.
What SuperPACS is
A PACS stores, retrieves, distributes and displays medical images. In most of the market that is where its job ends: the archive is one purchase, the AI that reads the images is a second, and the radiologists who sign the reports are a third — and the hospital operates the seams between them. A hospital can have a flawless PACS and still wait a day for reads.
SuperPACS starts from the opposite premise. 5C Network already runs the archive, the AI and the reporting at scale in production, and the PACS a hospital actually needs is the one wired into that system from the start. Studies land in the archive, Bionic AI pre-reads them, an NMC-registered radiologist from 5C's network reviews and signs, automated quality control validates every report, and Prodigi runs the departmental workflow around it — one system, not an integration project.
Honest status: SuperPACS is built on infrastructure that is live today, but its public feature specifications and commercial terms are not yet published. This page states only what 5C already publishes, and marks everything else as a question for us.
What is inside 5C SuperPACS
Four things that are normally three procurements and an integration project
The archive
PACSImage archiving and routing over standard DICOM for every modality 5C reports — X-ray, CT, MRI and mammography. This is the picture archiving and communication system itself: the layer that stores studies, moves them between scanners, reading stations and sites, and displays them.
Bionic AI
AI engine5C's clinical AI engine, licensed as a Class B medical device. Bionic Vision detects hundreds of pathologies (0.93 F1 in peer-reviewed research); Bionic Voice turns dictation into structured reports; Bionic LM runs 8 specialised quality-control agents on every report before sign-off.
Prodigi RIS
Workflow5C Network's AI-native radiology information system runs the departmental workflow — the RIS layer that a conventional PACS purchase leaves as a separate line item. Licensed alongside the Bionic Suite under India's Medical Devices Rules, 2017.
The reporting network
Radiologists400+ radiologists who review and sign every AI pre-read. On 5C's platform today this pipeline runs a ~30-minute average reporting loop across X-ray, CT, MRI and mammography, with NMC-registered sign-off and automated QC on every report.
Bionic AI and Prodigi hold a CDSCO manufacturing licence as Class B medical devices (Form MD-5, Licence No. MFG/MD/2025/000449). AI accuracy validated in peer-reviewed research (arXiv:2504.00022). Read more on Bionic and compliance.
How it connects
Two routes in. Neither requires ripping anything out on day one.
Keep your PACS, connect to 5C
5C connects to any existing DICOM-compliant PACS — from any vendor — over standard DICOM protocols. No additional hardware, cloud-based integration, and most facilities go live within about 72 hours. HL7 v2.x and FHIR are supported for the RIS and HIS side.
Studies forward from your archive; AI-assisted, radiologist-signed reports come back. Your PACS keeps doing archiving and clinical review.
Adopt SuperPACS as the archive
When the archive decision itself comes up — a new facility, a PACS replacement, a scanner-bundled PACS you would rather not be locked into — SuperPACS makes the PACS decision and the reporting decision the same decision. Modalities send to the archive over DICOM as they would to any PACS; the AI, RIS and reporting network are already attached.
Migration scope, hosting model and go-live timelines for SuperPACS are quoted per site — ask us with your modality mix and volumes.
Who 5C SuperPACS is for
And, just as usefully, who it is not for
Hospitals buying or replacing a PACS
If a PACS decision is in your next planning cycle, SuperPACS is the option where the archive, the AI and the reporting stop being three separate problems.
Diagnostic centres without in-house radiologists
The archive is usually the easy half; the binding constraint is who reads the studies. SuperPACS arrives with the reporting network attached.
Groups standardising across sites
One system for archive, workflow, AI and reporting is easier to run across a chain than three vendors per site — and the reporting loop is the same everywhere.
Facilities refusing scanner-bundled lock-in
A PACS bundled with a new CT or MRI can lock the archive to the scanner vendor and break open DICOM routing. SuperPACS is a PACS negotiated on its own merits.
Not for: your archive is fine, your reports are slow
That is not a PACS problem. Route studies to 5C's platform over DICOM in about 72 hours and keep everything else.
Not for: you need published specs today
SuperPACS specifications are not yet public. If your tender needs a spec sheet this quarter, register interest and tell us the deadline; we will not invent numbers to meet it.
