Uploading a study

Drag and drop into the upload modal, or browse for a study folder.
Upload the full DICOM study folder, not individual image files. CloudPACS reads the DICOM metadata automatically — patient name, DOB, modality, and study description are pulled directly from the files.
Setting priority
Choose a priority for the study:
| Priority | Turnaround expectation |
|---|---|
| Routine | Standard turnaround |
| Urgent | Faster turnaround |
| Stat | Immediate — for critical cases |
Choose a Priority: Routine, Urgent, or Stat.
Priority affects the radiologist's TAT countdown. Stat studies are escalated immediately.
Upload status
If uploads aren't working, check the status banner at the top of the upload window — it shows whether the CloudPACS upload service is currently available.
After upload
Once uploaded, the study appears in All Studies with the status Awaiting Referral. You must attach a referral before the Administrator can allocate it to a radiologist.
