MRI · brainNormal
“Multiple T2-hyperintense foci in the periventricular white matter, of probable microvascular origin.”
→ A few small bright spots in the brain’s wiring, next to the fluid spaces. Very common with age — on their own, not a disease.

Severity at a glance
“How bad is it?” — answered first.
Every AI reading opens with a severity summary: a gauge that rolls up the whole study, a health score — the same 0–100% you’ll see on your dashboard — and counts per bucket: normal, needs attention, significant. When the score drops into the amber or red band, that’s a clear signal to book a follow-up with your doctor — and these findings are exactly what to bring along. The score echoes the report’s own wording; it never invents a new clinical judgment.
Key findings · MRI cervical spine · 5 findings
A score in this band is a clear indication to follow up with your doctor. Severity reflects the wording of the report itself. Informational — not a diagnosis. If you feel unwell, contact your doctor or urgent care.
Deep Analysis
Your whole exam, read series by series.
Not a chatbot glancing at a screenshot. A general chatbot like ChatGPT, Grok, Claude or Gemini comments on a flat photo — it can’t open your real DICOM volume or scroll the slices. Deep Analysis reads your actual study series by series, working from the scan’s own geometry, then turns what it saw into a plain-language report.
Reads the real thing
Your real volume, not a photo
A chatbot sees one compressed screenshot. Deep Analysis works from your actual study — slices taken across every diagnostic series of the exam.
Reads it in context
It knows what it is looking at
Which plane each slice is, and which side is your right, are read from the scan’s own geometry rather than guessed from the picture — and the reading knows your age, sex and the symptoms you described.
Answers you can use
Mapped, scored, ready for your doctor
Every finding lands on your images with a severity score — plus follow-up questions grounded in your study.
How it compares
ChatGPT is a generalist. Read Your Scan is built for medical imaging.
Both explain a report or comment on a photo. Only one opens your real exam and reads every slice of it.
| ChatGPT | Read Your Scan | |
|---|---|---|
| Explains the report in plain words | ||
| Comments on a single uploaded image | ||
| Reads the scan’s own geometry — the plane, and which side is your right (Deep Analysis) * | ||
| Opens the real 3D volume from DICOM / NIfTI, not a screenshot | ||
| Analyzes the whole exam — every series and slice | ||
| Findings anchored to anatomy, clickable on the images | ||
| De-identified in your browser before anything is uploaded (GDPR) | ||
| Stores and organizes your exams over time | ||
| Share a 3D study with a doctor |
* Deep Analysis is a paid feature.
“ChatGPT” stands in for general chatbots (also Claude, Gemini, Grok). Every tool here is informational, not a medical diagnosis.

Free tools
Real 3D viewing — free, in your browser
Most online viewers only flip through 2D slices. Ours renders the whole volume in true 3D with WebGL — no install, no upload, no account. It’s the front door to everything else.
CD or DVD?
Got your scan on a hospital CD?
Insert the disc and open your MRI, CT or X-ray right in your browser — nothing to install, works on Mac and Windows, and your files are never uploaded.
Your scan archive
All your scans, in one place online.
Got a drawer full of hospital CDs and DVDs? Copy each exam into your account and keep your whole imaging history in one secure place — instead of discs that scratch, get lost, or won’t open on a modern computer.
- Import from any scan CD or DVD
- Open any exam in 3D, anytime
- Share any one with a doctor by link
Your exams stay for as long as you use your account. If an account goes unused for six months, an exam that never had a reading may be deleted — and we email you before that happens. Data retention
Two ways to answers
Read the scan, or map the report
AI reading
Let AI read your images
Upload a scan and AI describes what it sees in plain language — findings, what they can mean, and questions for your doctor. Then ask follow-ups, grounded in your study. Informational, never a diagnosis.
AI radiology report →Report mapping
Map your radiologist’s report
Already have a written report? Upload the PDF or paste the text — we extract each finding and place it on your images, so the words on the page become regions you can actually see.
Report explained →Second opinion
A second reading of your images
Deep Analysis reads your scan from scratch, without being shown what your radiologist wrote. Put the two side by side: where they agree you can read with more confidence, and anything only one of them raises is exactly what to bring to your appointment.

Sharing
Send it to your doctor in one link
Share medical images by link — privately with your doctor, or read-only in public.
Private link
Share a study — images plus the mapped findings — with your doctor via a private link only they can open. No account needed on their side.
Public link
Or publish a read-only public link when you want to share more widely. You stay in control — revoke access at any time.
De-identified by design
Identifying DICOM tags — name, IDs, dates — are stripped in your browser before anything is uploaded, so a shared link shows the images and findings, never your personal details.
Any language
Read your report in your language.
Translate the plain-language report and findings into the major world languages with AI — the medical terms stay accurate, the explanation stays clear.
Privacy
Your data stays yours.
This is medical data, and we treat it that way. The riskiest thing is your identity — so we strip it before your scan ever leaves your device.

Get startedFAQ
Questions, answered
Is this a medical diagnosis?+
No. Read Your Scan gives you an informational, plain-language explanation of your imaging or report, and lets you view it in 3D. It is not a diagnosis and not a substitute for your doctor or a radiologist. Always confirm with your care team.
What makes the viewer different?+
It renders your MRI, CT or X-ray as a real 3D volume in the browser with WebGL — most free online viewers only show flat 2D slices. And every AI or radiologist finding is clickable, jumping the viewer to the exact region.
Can it use my existing radiologist report?+
Yes. Upload the report PDF or paste the text, and each finding is extracted and mapped onto your images, so the written report becomes regions you can see and click.
Can I share a study with my doctor?+
Yes — share a private link only your doctor can open, or a read-only public link when you want to share more widely. You can revoke access at any time.
Can I read it in another language?+
Yes. The report and findings can be translated into the major world languages with AI, keeping the medical terms accurate.
How much does it cost?+
The 3D viewer, sharing, and understanding your radiologist’s report — mapped onto your scan, explained in plain language and scored — are all free, no card needed. A full independent AI reading of the images (Deep Analysis reads the scan itself, beyond your written report, with follow-up questions) is a one-time $9, or $24 for three exams — $8 each — if you have a drawer of old scans or a family to cover. Bought once, never expires, no subscription.
Is my data private?+
Your imaging is de-identified in your browser before upload, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold. You can share, export or delete everything at any time.
