- DICOM Modality Worklist
Your schedule already knows your patient. Your modalities should too.
NUBA’s DICOM Modality Worklist integration automatically pushes scheduled patient data from your HIS or RIS directly to imaging equipment — eliminating manual entry, reducing errors, and accelerating patient throughput.
The bridge between your scheduling system and imaging devices
DICOM Modality Worklist (MWL) is a standard that allows imaging modalities — MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound — to automatically receive patient and procedure information from a Hospital Information System (HIS) or Radiology Information System (RIS). Instead of technologists typing in patient names, IDs, and exam details at the modality keyboard, the worklist query retrieves everything automatically the moment the patient is scheduled.
Without MWL
- Technologist manually types patient demographics
- Exam codes entered by hand at the modality
- Risk of typos causing mislabeled studies
- Slow patient prep and longer turnaround times
With NUBA DICOM MWL
- Patient data flows automatically from HIS/RIS to the modality
- Zero manual keyboard entry required
- Accurate, consistent data across every study
- Faster workflow from scheduling to image acquisition
From scheduled order to scan — automatically
When imaging modalities aren’t connected to scheduling systems, staff are forced to re-enter patient data manually — creating a cascade of operational and clinical problems.
Exam Scheduled
Patient is scheduled for imaging in your HIS or RIS. Order details, demographics, and exam codes are entered once.
Data Transmitted
NUBA’s DICOM MWL server receives the HL7 or FHIR message and translates it into a DICOM-compliant worklist entry.
Modality Queries
When the technologist opens the modality, it queries the MWL server and retrieves the patient’s full exam details automatically.
Scan Begins
Images are acquired with correct patient metadata attached — no manual entry, no mismatches, no delays.
Manual entry in imaging workflows creates risk at every step
When imaging modalities aren’t connected to scheduling systems, staff are forced to re-enter patient data manually — creating a cascade of operational and clinical problems.
Patient Data Errors
Misspelled names, wrong dates of birth, and incorrect IDs cause studies to be mislabeled or unreadable downstream — triggering costly rework and potential patient safety issues.
Workflow Delays
Technologists spend 5-10 minutes per patient entering data manually. Across dozens of studies per day, this adds up to hours of lost productive time across your department.
Disconnected Systems
Without integration, scheduling data in your HIS and imaging data in your PACS live in silos — making reconciliation painful, reporting inconsistent, and audits difficult.
Nuba connects your systems so patient data flows — without anyone touching a keyboard
NUBA acts as the integration layer between your scheduling, clinical, and imaging systems. We deploy a standards-compliant DICOM Modality Worklist server that translates your HL7 or FHIR messages in real time, making patient data available to every connected modality the instant an exam is booked.
No proprietary middleware required. No changes to your existing modalities. Just clean, automatic data flow from order entry to image acquisition.
What NUBA provides

What your team gains with NUBA DICOM MWL
Faster Throughput
Eliminate 3–5 minutes of manual entry per patient. Your team moves faster, your schedule flows smoother.
Fewer Errors
Zero-touch data entry means zero transcription mistakes. Every study is tagged with accurate patient demographics the first time.
Universal Compatibility
Works with any DICOM-compliant modality — MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, fluoroscopy, and more.
Real-Time Updates
Schedule changes propagate instantly. If an appointment shifts or is cancelled, the worklist reflects it immediately at the modality.
Cleaner PACS Data
Consistent, accurate metadata makes studies easier to find, route, and archive. Your radiologists and referring physicians get the right images every time.
HIPAA-Compliant
End-to-end encrypted transmissions with full audit logging. Meet your compliance requirements without additional overhead.
From single-site clinics to multi-facility health systems
NUBA’s DICOM MWL solution is architected to grow with your organization. Whether you’re running a single imaging suite or coordinating across dozens of facilities, our infrastructure handles the volume — reliably and securely.

100+
Modality Types Supported
Compatible with virtually every DICOM-enabled imaging device on the market.
HL7 + FHIR
Standards Support
Full support for HL7 v2.x messages and modern FHIR R4 APIs.
Clinical Workflow Expertise
We don’t just implement DICOM standards — we understand radiology operations. Our team has hands-on experience deploying integrations in live clinical environments.
Vendor-Neutral Architecture
NUBA integrates with any HIS, RIS, PACS, or modality brand. We’re not tied to any one vendor’s ecosystem.
Dedicated Implementation Support
Our integration engineers guide you from requirements gathering through go-live — and stay available for support long after launch.
We don't just connect systems — we understand clinical workflows
Healthcare integration is not a technology problem — it’s an operational one. A technically correct DICOM MWL implementation that doesn’t account for your scheduling workflows, your modality configurations, or your staff’s real-world behavior will fail in practice.
NUBA brings clinical context to every integration. We’ve worked alongside radiologists, imaging technologists, and IT departments to build solutions that actually work on the floor — not just on paper.
