PACS and viewer

Stop waiting on dated viewing software.

Photon is designed to make imaging feel fluid: fast loads, clear interactions, and a viewer that supports diagnostic work instead of interrupting it.

  • Fast, responsive viewing experience.
  • Modern interaction patterns for daily reading.
  • Built to pair with Prism+ reporting and Focus worklists.
  • Part of a connected suite, not another isolated tool.

Photon workflow

Image review stays close to the report, not stranded in another destination.

Photon gives radiologists the familiar diagnostic interactions they expect while preserving the active study context from worklist to image review to report creation.

  1. 01

    Open from the study workflow

    Launch image review from an enterprise handoff such as a worklist selection or Prism+ reporting context.

  2. 02

    Load the available image objects

    Keep exam, patient, accession, series, instance, and modality context available as the study opens.

  3. 03

    Navigate images and metadata

    Select instances, scan image lists, and inspect key metadata without losing the active study frame.

  4. 04

    Use diagnostic viewport controls

    Window, level, zoom, pan, flip, rotate, invert, magnify, reset orientation, and measure length or angle.

  5. 05

    Stay aligned with reporting

    Image review remains coordinated with the surrounding Prism+ workflow so the report and active study stay in sync.

FAQ

Photon questions.

Photon is Shadowfax PACS and image viewer software for radiology teams, built to keep image review close to the active study workflow.

Photon is reached from study-centric workflows such as a worklist selection or Prism+ reporting handoff, rather than as a separate destination radiologists must manage manually.

Photon keeps exam, patient, accession, series, instance, modality, and selected image-object context available while the reader reviews the study.

Photon supports practical review tools such as window and level, zoom, pan, flip, rotation, orientation reset, inversion, magnification, length measurement, and angle measurement.

Photon is designed to work alongside Prism+ reporting and Focus orchestration so the active images, report editor, and worklist context stay coordinated.

Photon is positioned as the image viewer component in the connected suite. Routine access is centered on opening studies from workflow context, especially Prism+ and worklist flows.

Speed, usability, and workflow adjacency. Photon is built to reduce viewer friction and help radiologists move through image review and reporting without context drift.
