New DICOM routing and imaging integration solution saves radiologist time, reduces vendor sprawl, powers multi-modal exchange, and accelerates AI ROI for imaging networks, IDNs and health tech solutions.
Boston, MA– August 12, 2025 — Rhapsody, a global leader in digital health enablement and interoperability, today announced the general availability of Rhapsody® Image Director, an advanced image orchestration solution designed to enhance clinical and operational efficiency, reduce infrastructure complexity, and enable scalable innovation across imaging environments.
As imaging volumes surge, radiologists and imaging networks face growing pressure and legacy routing tools often fall short. Image Director is must-have infrastructure software for organizations navigating the demands of teleradiology and the next wave of multimodal AI. It simplifies the routing of imaging data from sources like CT, MRI, and X-ray to destinations such as PACS, VNAs, multimodal AI models, and cloud archives. The result is a modern, scalable ecosystem built for AI readiness and operational agility.
“Healthcare is entering an era where imaging won’t exist in isolation. It will be part of a broader, multimodal data ecosystem,” said Jitin Asnaani, chief product officer of Rhapsody. “To get there, organizations will need a flexible infrastructure that can unify, scale, and adapt as AI capabilities evolve. Image Director helps them modernize without disruption and build for what’s next.”
Built to support cloud, edge and hybrid environments, Image Director works natively with Rhapsody integration solutions and digital health enablement platform to unify imaging and clinical data workflows. This makes it a strong fit for organizations consolidating imaging systems, modernizing post-merger infrastructure, or laying the foundation for next-gen AI deployment.
The solution is purpose-built for diagnostic imaging networks, IDNs, life sciences companies, public health agencies and digital health innovators navigating:
- Cloud PACS/VNA modernization
- Imaging system consolidation post-merger
- AI development and deployment
- Multi-site radiology network interoperability
- Compliance requirements around de-identification and data routing
As AI models increasingly rely on combined inputs from imaging, lab, and clinical documentation, health systems are shifting toward infrastructure that supports multimodal data integration. Rhapsody Image Director provides a vendor-neutral foundation to route, de-identify, and orchestrate imaging data alongside broader clinical datasets.
Early results from one imaging network project over $8 million in savings over three years by consolidating 35 disparate solutions into Rhapsody Image Director. That same deployment is helping radiologists reclaim over 200 minutes per day, per reader, by improving access to prior studies and reducing manual routing tasks.
Image Director complements existing PACS and VNA infrastructure and integrates seamlessly with the Rhapsody digital health enablement platform that includes AI-enabled enterprise master person index (EMPI). The comprehensive Rhapsody platform allows organizations to streamline DICOM, FHIR, and HL7 workflows through a single, interoperable solution.
Rhapsody is showcasing Image Director and its full digital health enablement platform at the MedInformatix Summit, August 12–14, 2025, in Austin, TX. Attendees can explore how Rhapsody empowers healthcare organizations to simplify EHR connectivity, streamline FHIR and HL7 integration, and manage high-quality, multimodal data across clinical systems.
