How DICOM Reader works
Upload your medical imaging study and receive a plain-English AI radiology-style summary — with frame-level citations you can review yourself, and a follow-up chat grounded in your actual images. Three steps, under a minute.
Upload your DICOM study
Drag and drop a folder of DICOM files from a CD, disc, USB drive, or patient portal download. DICOM Reader accepts CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, mammogram, angiography, and any other standards-compliant DICOM modality.
You do not need to convert your files. If they came from a hospital or imaging centre in DICOM format — typically a folder of .dcm files or a disc labelled with your name — they are ready to upload directly.
AI reads every frame of your study
Our AI vision model examines each individual image in your study, across every slice and every series. It identifies structures, flags areas of interest, and builds a structured understanding of the full study — not just a single frame.
This is unlike pasting a single screenshot into a general-purpose chatbot. DICOM Reader processes the entire imaging dataset so nothing is missed between slices.
Get your report and ask follow-up questions
Within seconds you receive a structured, radiology-style summary: findings organized by region or series, clinical impressions in plain English, and a plain-language takeaway you can actually follow without a medical background.
Every finding includes a frame-level citation — a link back to the exact DICOM image the AI used — so you can see exactly what it saw. You can also ask follow-up questions in plain English and receive answers grounded in your uploaded images, not generic medical information.
What you get in a report
Findings listed by anatomical region or imaging series, written in both medical and plain-English terms so you can follow along and look things up.
A concise summary of the most notable observations from the study — the kind of overview a radiologist typically writes at the end of a report.
Every finding links to the specific DICOM image frame where it was observed. Review what the AI saw, side by side with the report text.
Ask any question about your report — "What does that finding mean?", "Is this normal for my age?", "What should I ask my doctor?" — and get answers tied to your actual study.
A top-line takeaway written for a general audience, so you understand the big picture before your next appointment.
Your uploaded study and generated report are saved permanently to your account so you can revisit or share them later.
