I started and run https://pacsbin.com, a radiology teaching file/research platform. I’m a radiologist and started this as a resident while unsatisfied with all existing options. It has been really gratifying to work on a niche problem for which a lot of my colleagues need a solution, and has helped me learn a ton about the tech and standards that underpin my profession.

That's rad, lack of lock-in and sharing in a niche is a big green flag- Hope adding ultrasound to the list of modalities goes as planned, would gladly lend a hand at no cost if it's high on the priority list!

This is great. I run a very very similar platform. How are your prices so cheap? 120$ for 500 studies a year?

S3 is really cheap, and from the beginning I spent a lot of time optimizing for simplicity and efficiency, so I don’t have much overhead. Since this is targeted towards residents and academic radiologists, it’s important to me to keep the price as low as possible. What is your platform if you don’t mind sharing?
