Put radiology back in control

Modern radiology departments are under pressure from every angle: rising demand, workforce shortages, fragmented systems and constant operational firefighting.

OptiRad gives leaders a smarter way to run radiology, with real-time visibility of capacity, demand and performance in one connected platform.

Most departments don't have a capacity problem alone. They have a control problem.

When demand rises, many teams are forced to manage services through spreadsheets, disconnected systems and reactive decisions.

That creates friction across the pathway:

Sessions underused while pressure builds elsewhere
Outsourcing spend without strategic control
Delays hidden until they become backlogs
Clinical time lost to admin
No single live view of performance

OptiRad changes that.

One platform. Real-time visibility. Smarter decisions.

The operating system for modern radiology

OptiRad is Hexarad's radiology management platform, built specifically for the realities of diagnostic services. It gives departments one live operational layer across workforce, workload and performance, helping leaders make better decisions faster.

One platform to oversee:

Capacity

Who is available, where and when.

Step 1 of 5

Demand

What needs reporting now, next and soon.

Step 2 of 5

Performance

Turnaround times, utilisation, bottlenecks and trends.

Step 3 of 5

Spend

Internal resource use, insourcing and outsourcing efficiency.

Step 4 of 5

Opportunity

Where productivity can improve without compromising quality.

Step 5 of 5

From fragmented workflows to live intelligence

OptiRad turns operational complexity into clarity.

Smart rostering

Align sessions and expertise to actual demand.

Workflow prioritisation

Route the right work to the right place at the right time.

Real-time dashboards

See pressures early and act before delays build.

Forecasting tools

Plan future demand with greater confidence.

Better resource use

Reduce unnecessary outsourcing by improving internal productivity first.

Regional visibility

Support networked working across multiple sites and systems.

Measurable gains, not management theatre

Not through one dramatic intervention. Through better visibility, better prioritisation and better use of existing capacity.

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust

At Southend Hospital, part of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, OptiRad helped unlock improvement across the pathway.

12% increase in reporting output
18% faster turnaround times
£150k+ annual outsourcing cost reduction

Built by radiologists. Proven in the NHS.

OptiRad was created by consultant radiologists who understand that diagnosis slows when operations fail. That means software built around real departmental pressure, not generic workforce tooling.

Designed specifically for radiology
Works alongside existing services
Backed by the wider Hexarad platform
Clinically credible and operationally practical
Supports both local and regional models

This is not admin software. It is infrastructure for faster diagnosis.

Unlock diagnosis. Rewrite the rules.

Modern healthcare cannot run on legacy diagnostic models. Hexarad helps organisations move faster, operate smarter and deliver better outcomes through connected radiology solutions.
