Every outside disc, imported in minutes. Nothing leaves the workstation.
MIA Toolkit copies the studies from the CDs and DVDs patients bring in, organizes them and writes a standard DICOMDIR to USB or a folder. It runs offline on one workstation, is open source (MIT) and needs no account.

Apply to our Pilot Program
MIA Bridge
Imports outside studies straight into your PACS and pulls PACS studies onto clean patient media — on-premise, inside your network.
Where it fits
For critical-access hospitals, orthopedic, neurology and oncology practices, second-opinion programs, teleradiology groups and independent imaging centers.
Outside-study import
At the film library or medical-records desk: read the outside CD, organize its studies and hand standard DICOM to your existing import step.
Patient discharge media
Consolidate a patient's discs onto one USB drive with a standard DICOMDIR for discharge or transfer, instead of burning another CD.
Second-opinion intake
Programs that receive discs by mail can process them in one place and get an inventory of what each disc contained.
Compliance and security
What MIA Toolkit is, and what it is not. Each statement names its basis; ask us for the documents behind it.
| Topic | Our position |
|---|---|
| Device status | Not a medical device: software solely to transfer, store, convert or display images (FDA MDDS guidance, Sept 2022; FD&C §520(o)(1)(D)); never interprets. |
| HIPAA | No BAA needed: we never receive or access PHI (HHS HIPAA FAQ 256). Support works only with de-identified screenshots or logs — please never send us PHI. |
| Network | Zero network traffic while it works. The only request the app can make is an update check that a user starts by hand, and it sends no identifiers. The code is open source (MIT), so your team can audit it. |
| Output | Standard DICOM: a DICOMDIR file-set on USB or in a folder, ready for your existing import workflow. |
| Signed builds | macOS: signed and notarized by Apple. Windows: not yet code-signed — SmartScreen may warn during installation (More info → Run anyway). Windows signing is in progress. |
Estimate
Your intake, estimated
Example: a site that receives 1,000 outside discs a year.
≈139 h
staff hours saved per year
≈75
failed imports avoided per year
≈160 discs/yr
break-even volume for the Hospital license
Assumptions, not measurements: import time falls from 10 to 5 minutes per disc, failed imports fall from 15% to 7.5%, chasing each failed disc takes 45 minutes of staff time, and staff time costs about US$22 an hour.
These are estimates — your pilot measures the real numbers.
Pricing
One annual license per site or network. The software is the same free, MIT-licensed app; the license is the support and compliance-documentation package on top.

Send us a short request form: your institution and roughly how many outside discs you receive each month.
Install
Set it up on one intake workstation — about 15 minutes, no server and no account.

For two weeks, log each disc on a one-page sheet: minutes spent and whether it imported.
Decide
Compare with your own numbers, then license it or walk away. No commitment.
