Where can I upload my scan? Upload DICOM online for plain-English help from your own images
New to DICOM? Start with what DICOM is and why your hospital files look like a folder of .dcm files. DICOM Reader lets you upload your full DICOM folder in the browser (CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, and more) after you sign in — from a hospital CD, USB, or patient-portal zip. You get a medical imaging viewer online plus optional AI-assisted, radiology-style wording in everyday language, with links to frames and chat grounded in your study. Informational only — not a diagnosis.
- Create a free account at dicom-reader.com.
- Prepare the study folder — all
.dcmfiles, not one screenshot. - Upload the folder using the in-app flow (copy from disc/USB to your computer first if the browser cannot read the drive).
- Review images and optionally run the plain-English summary and chat to prep questions for your doctor.
