Aycan Medical Systems

What Aycan Medical Systems does

Aycan Medical Systems is a private US-based medical imaging IT vendor, founded in Germany in 1996 by radiologists and incorporated in the US (aycan Medical Systems, LLC) in Rochester, NY in 2001. The company designs, integrates, and supports vendor-neutral PACS and enterprise imaging solutions organized around a "Deconstructed PACS" architecture that decouples archive, viewer, and worklist components built on DICOM, HL7, and FHIR standards. Core products include aycan store PACS (cloud-capable, Oracle-powered DICOM archiving), aycan mini PACS (downmarket tier), aycan workstation (FDA 510(k) cleared, native Apple Silicon), aycan mammography workstation, aycan universal thin-client viewer, aycan web (HTML5 zero-footprint), aycan DICOM router, aycan workflow, aycan universal archive, and aycan xray-print; partner products resold include the MedDream DICOM Viewer, EIZO diagnostic monitors, AI4CMR, Imaging Biometrics quantitative imaging plug-ins, and MediReport CVIS.

Aycan sells primarily to hospitals, imaging centers, radiology practices, teleradiology providers, and healthcare networks in the Americas (US and Canada direct; Latin America and Caribbean through a network of authorized VARs including mmrad, Serquip, IntgSolutions, TeleCoqui, IH Medical, and Group PBS), with cross-vertical expansion into mammography, cardiology, clinical trials, and veterinary imaging. Revenue is generated through quote-based software licensing and subscriptions (recurring), professional services (data migration, integration, remote support), support and maintenance contracts, and hardware/monitor resale, with enterprise-grade sales backed by FDA clearances, ISO 13485, CE Class IIb, and EU MDR certifications.

Since December 2023, Aycan has operated as a subsidiary of PARATUS, a Munich-based healthcare IT group formed in 2021 that also owns iQ IMAGE, with whom Aycan shares a combined footprint of over 10,000 installations in 100+ countries. Day-to-day US leadership transitioned in April 2025 with Alan Stevens appointed as Managing Director for both aycan and iQ IMAGE U.S. operations, succeeding co-founder Frank Burkhardt. The company's headcount sits in the 11–50 range, and in December 2025 it relocated its US operations headquarters to a new shared facility in Rochester, NY co-located with iQ IMAGE's North American operations.
