Detailed Review
The imprint names IMAGE Information Systems Europe GmbH, Lange Strasse 16, Rostock, entered in the Rostock commercial register as HRB 11011. The site says the company was founded in 2003 and has offices in Germany, the USA and India.
The site states that PARATUS acquired a majority stake in 2023. The product range runs from workstation viewers to server software and cloud services.
Pick the parts you need
iQ-SYSTEM PACS is described as component-based: a customer chooses programs for daily viewing, archiving and distribution and can use them together or separately. iQ-WEB is the all-inclusive server for archiving, teleradiology and image sharing, and iQ-VIEW is the desktop reading station.
iQ-4VIEW is a browser-independent, zero-footprint DICOM viewer for reading from any location and device.
Teleradiology and migration
iQ-ROUTER is a Windows service that routes, compresses, encrypts and modifies images, which suits remote reading. The site also lists an iQ-MIGRATION tool and runs a campaign for customers of the Digithurst product, whose support ends in 2026.
Free tools and veterinary use
The download area offers free DICOM utilities including Conquest and DICOMAnonymize, and a veterinary variant, iQ-4CLOUD VET, exists alongside the medical cloud service.
Limitations to Consider
Prices are not published, and the homepage carries a notice about a security update for the PHP2Shell vulnerability that customers were asked to install. The company is smaller than the hospital-scale platforms in this list, so large multi-department archives should be compared with Sectra or VISUS.

Radiology practices, imaging centres and teleradiology providers that prefer modular software from a German vendor.
