Your PACS systems are down? Urgents patients cannot wait.

Send & receive medical images,
without the headache.

Carino PACS quietly receives DICOM images and auto-forwards them where you need them. It does two things well — it's not an enterprise PACS, and that's the point. Download and go.

Checking for the latest version…

First launch shows a security warning? Here's how to open it
  • Windows: More infoRun anyway.
  • macOS: right-click the app → OpenOpen.
  • Linux: mark it executable (chmod +x) and run it.

The warning appears because the app isn't code-signed yet — it's safe.

Two jobs. That's it.

  • 📥 Receives — machines and scanners send images to your computer; it files them into tidy folders by patient and study.
  • 📤 Forwards — watches a folder and automatically sends new images on to the systems you pick, retrying until each one has it.

Up and running in 3 steps

  1. 1 Open it — it tucks into your system tray and keeps running.
  2. 2 Click the tray icon — a simple dashboard opens.
  3. 3 Pick a folder, add where to send. Done.
For technical users — DICOM details, CLI & source

A store-only PACS built on pynetdicom/pydicom; the desktop app is an Electron tray shell around the same engine.

  • Storage SCP — C-STORE + C-ECHO, files by Patient/Study/Series, all transfer syntaxes (compressed stored as-is).
  • Storage SCU — folder-watch auto-forward to N nodes, per-destination retry, keep/move/delete on success.
  • DICOM-TLS both sides (optional), incl. mutual TLS.
  • Web dashboard, headless CLI (pacs serve|receive|send|echo), or tray app. DICOM port 11112; dashboard 127.0.0.1:8042.
