Apollo Radiology clinical coverage

Always someone on duty

Day, night, weekends and public holidays. Your scan is never waiting for morning, and you are never without cover when your radiologist travels.

The right specialist, every time

A brain scan goes to a neuroradiologist. A knee MRI goes to a bone and joint specialist. Not a generalist reading everything — the doctor who reads that part of the body every day.

Turnaround you can promise

Emergencies: we phone you within 30 minutes and send the signed report inside the hour. Routine scans come back the same day, so your patient can collect before leaving.

Easy to set up

We connect to your existing PACS over DICOM and deliver reports by HL7. Nothing to buy, nothing for your radiographer to learn. Most centres send their first scan within two weeks.

Six ways we cover you.

Most clients start with one gap and add the rest within a quarter.

Three steps. Nothing changes for your team.

01

You send the scan

Your radiographer scans the patient exactly as they do today. Images reach us automatically over DICOM from your PACS, or through a small connection we install at no cost if you have no PACS.

02

We read it

A subspecialty radiologist opens your case within minutes. Urgent studies are prioritised. If we see something serious, we telephone your doctor straight away.

03

You get the report

A clear, signed report is delivered by HL7 into your RIS, or as a PDF on your own letterhead. If your doctor has a question, they can speak to the radiologist who wrote it.

Where we report

ARI reports for providers across Nigeria. Studies are sent electronically, so location is no constraint — a centre in Maiduguri gets the same turnaround as one in Victoria Island.

Teleradiology in Nigeria, answered.

What is teleradiology?

Teleradiology is the practice of transmitting medical images — CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound or mammography — electronically to a radiologist in another location, who interprets the study and returns a signed report. It lets a hospital or imaging centre access specialist reporting without employing that specialist on site.

Which scans can you report?

CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound and mammography, across every common subspecialty — neuroradiology, cardiac and thoracic, musculoskeletal, body and abdominal, oncology, breast, paediatric, and obstetric and gynaecological imaging. Each study is routed to the radiologist who reads that anatomy every day.

How fast will I get my radiology report?

Emergency and trauma studies receive a telephone call within 30 minutes of a critical finding, with the signed written report inside 60 minutes. Routine and elective studies are returned the same day, typically within three to four hours of receipt.

What happens if you find something urgent?

We telephone your named clinician within 30 minutes of identifying a critical finding, and the call is logged and timestamped so you have a record of it. The signed written report follows inside the hour. An urgent result never sits waiting in an inbox.

How do we send scans to you?

If you already have a PACS, we connect to it over DICOM and your images route to us automatically - nothing changes for your radiographer. If you do not have a PACS, we install a small gateway that pulls images directly from your CT, MRI or ultrasound machine. Many Nigerian centres start this way and add a PACS later.

How do we receive the finished report?

The signed report is delivered by HL7 straight into your RIS, or as a PDF on your own letterhead if you prefer. Reports carry your branding rather than ours, so your patients and referring doctors see your name on the document.

Will this work with unreliable power and internet?

Yes. Image transfer is store-and-forward and resumable: studies queue locally and upload when the connection returns, so a power cut delays a report rather than losing it. Images are compressed for constrained bandwidth, and we size the link with you during setup.

Can our doctors speak to the radiologist who wrote the report?

Yes. Every report is signed by a named radiologist, and your clinicians can reach them to discuss any finding. You also have a named account manager from day one, so there is always one person to call.

How long does it take to get started?

A typical site is live within two weeks: a connectivity test, agreement on your report templates, then a supervised pilot on live studies before full switchover. There is no equipment to purchase and no software licence to buy.

Who reads my scans, and how do I know they are qualified?

Every report is signed by a named radiologist. ARI's panel of over 200 radiologists holds Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) or Indian board certification, and each study is routed to the subspecialist who reads that anatomy daily. Reports are peer reviewed under ACR RADPEER.
