Sectra: If you need pathology and cardiology on the same platform, not just radiology

Server-side streaming PACS built for radiologists reading very large studies over thin connections
As of 1 September 2026, Visage Imaging's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Visage 7 renders studies on the server and streams pixels to the viewer, so a thousand slice CT opens at home as fast as on site. Softwr lists it under Healthcare. Visage Imaging is made by Visage Imaging, Inc., a Pro Medicus company, available on Windows, macOS, Web, iOS.
Overview
Visage Imaging sells Visage 7, an enterprise imaging platform whose defining architecture is server-side rendering. Rather than pushing whole studies to a workstation and reconstructing locally, the server does the reconstruction and streams the rendered view, which is why large CT and MR studies and digital breast tomosynthesis open in seconds regardless of where the radiologist is sitting. The same platform provides the clinician viewer, an open archive and increasingly full PACS operations in the cloud. The commercially distinguishing fact is not architectural, it is financial. Visage is a subsidiary of Pro Medicus, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, and Pro Medicus announces major contracts to the market with their total value and term. A buyer can therefore look up what Trinity Health, Duke, Baylor Scott and White and others actually committed over seven or ten years, and derive a rough per exam rate, which is disclosure no other enterprise imaging vendor offers. Contracts are transaction based, priced per exam with a minimum annual volume, so the model rewards high volume readers and penalises organisations whose imaging activity is flat or shrinking. Buyers are large United States academic health systems and high volume teleradiology and private practice groups where radiologist reading time is the scarce resource and remote reading is normal. The trade off is scope. Visage is a reading and distribution platform, strongest at radiology; pathology, cardiology and departmental workflow breadth are thinner than at vendors that have spent twenty years accumulating modules, and the transaction pricing model means the cost line grows with volume rather than flattening.
The honest half
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Visage Imaging.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Pro Medicus Limited, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. That listing means major contract values and terms are publicly announced.
Per exam, against a minimum annual volume, on multi-year terms. Because Pro Medicus discloses large contract totals and durations to the market, buyers can estimate a per exam rate before entering negotiation.
Yes, Visage 7 holds 510(k) clearance for diagnostic viewing including mammography and tomosynthesis on validated displays. Confirm the exact cleared modality list for your intended use.
Yes, Visage 7 runs complete PACS operations in the cloud rather than cloud viewing over an on-premise archive.
