Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and document end-to-end PACS/RIS and radiology workflows.
• Gather and translate clinical and technical requirements into clear functional and non-functional specifications.
• Define integration requirements across RIS, PACS, imaging modalities, VNA, viewers and integration engines.
• Analyse DICOM workflows including Modality Worklist (MWL), C-STORE, query/retrieve, MPPS and Storage Commitment.

Essential Experience

• Strong Technical BA experience within healthcare or medical imaging, with practical knowledge of:
• PACS | RIS | DICOM | HL7 | Modality Worklist | Imaging Modalities | Integration Engines
• You should understand the imaging lifecycle:
• RIS → MWL → Modality → DICOM → PACS → Viewer/VNA
• Experience with DICOMweb, VNA, IHE profiles, MPPS, Storage Commitment, interface engines, imaging migration or PACS/RIS replacement programmes would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will combine strong requirements and stakeholder-management skills with sufficient technical understanding to work effectively between radiology users, infrastructure/integration teams and PACS/RIS vendors.
