The exam ordered. The report that arrives.

An image without its report is a riddle; a report that never reaches the prescriber is lost. Today it travels on a CD nobody can open, or as a photo of a printout. Doctavie links the request, your centre and the record, so the read arrives where the decision gets made.

Per-machine scheduling, patient file, team, invoicing: what the centre kept in a daybook now lives in one imaging centre management console — the same one that sends the report and the images.

1. 01

   One agenda per machine

   The CT, the MRI, the ultrasound, the X-ray room: each machine is a resource, and each resource has its own agenda. Two patients cannot be put on the same machine at the same hour — the database refuses the collision. Day, week or month; a booking moves by dragging it, and each carries its status: arrived, in progress, done, no-show.

2. 02

   Your opening hours make the slots

   Your opening hours and your closed days are entered once. Free slots are computed server-side from them, minus what is already booked: a slot you are offered is therefore a slot that exists.

3. 03

   The facility's own patient file

   The patient who turns up with a paper request and no account finally has a record with you: a roster searchable by name, and a file that gathers the exams you performed, the reports you issued, the bookings and what is still owed.

4. 04

   A team, roles, one signature

   The owner invites colleagues by link and assigns a job — radiologist, manager, radiographer, front desk — approves the non-clinical seats themselves, suspends, removes. And only an owner or a verified practitioner may sign a report.

5. 05

   Invoices that hold up

   A gapless numbered series, per facility and per year. The invoice is frozen the moment it is issued and is corrected only by a credit note. Lines are priced from your own nomenclature, and payments — cash, card, transfer, cheque — are tracked against the balance.

6. 06

   The safety questionnaire, before the exam

   Pregnancy, a pacemaker or metallic implant, contrast allergy, creatinine, claustrophobia, metal objects, weight: the questions are asked before the visit, and a risky answer flags the order on the worklist. Scanning a pregnant woman or injecting contrast into a patient in renal failure is not an inconvenience — it is harm.

7. 07

   The channel to the ordering doctor

   “You wrote abdominal CT — with contrast?” The question goes to the prescriber, the answer comes back in writing and in real time, attached to the request. A notice can also go out to the patient, one way only.

What this is not: an acquisition console. Doctavie does not drive your machines and transmits nothing to CNAS. What it does: run the centre — appointments, patient file, team, invoicing — and send the report out with the images.

1. 01

   Sign up

   Submit your centre licence, your equipment list and your team's credentials.

2. 02

   The patient shows their QR; the request opens with the indication and the prescriber already filled in.

4. 04

   Report

   Upload the study, write the read, and the report goes to the record and to the ordering doctor.

A report only really exists at the moment the doctor who ordered it reads it. The CD, the printout, the photo in a messaging app: all of them are ways of postponing that moment.
