Works with your existing PACS.
Histolyx connects at the DICOM routing layer using standard protocols — DICOMweb STOW-RS for ingest, WADO-RS for prior retrieval, and STOW-RS again for returning annotated results to your PACS. No PACS replacement, no proprietary middleware. Your IT team configures the endpoint once. Every new study routes through automatically.

Histolyx uses open healthcare imaging standards. If your PACS supports these protocols — which any modern PACS does — Histolyx can integrate.
WADO-RS (retrieve), STOW-RS (store), and QIDO-RS (query) — the RESTful DICOM standard. Primary integration method. Supported by all major PACS vendors.
FHIR R4 for structured report delivery back to EHR and RIS. Diagnostic report resources with finding references and observation codes. Optional alongside DICOMweb.
Traditional DICOM C-STORE and C-MOVE for sites that have not yet migrated to DICOMweb. Supported as a secondary integration path for legacy PACS configurations.
Web Access to DICOM Objects via RESTful Services — used for Histolyx to retrieve prior studies for comparison from your PACS. Enables change detection without manual prior retrieval.
Three steps to go live.
Our onboarding team walks your IT team through the entire process. Most sites complete configuration in a single session.
Configure DICOMweb endpoint
Your PACS IT team sets up a routing rule that forwards new studies to Histolyx's DICOMweb STOW-RS endpoint. Histolyx provides the endpoint URL and API key. This typically takes 30–60 minutes in a configuration session with our team.
Test routing with sample studies
We run a set of test studies through the routing configuration and verify that Histolyx receives, processes, and returns annotations correctly. We confirm the return path — annotations back to your PACS viewer — before anything goes live.
Go live with monitoring period
Once testing passes, the routing rule goes live. Histolyx processes all new studies in the configured modalities. Our team monitors the first week of deployment and is available to adjust thresholds based on radiologist feedback.
