See the viewer before you open a scan
A quick look at the real product: open a study, compare series, and export clean images without uploading anything.
local viewer
Drop in a folder and scroll through slices
Series appear in the sidebar, the active image stays large, and brightness, contrast, zoom, and easy-view controls are ready immediately.
side by side
Compare two series side by side
Open a second view for related sequences. Browse slices with each pane’s slider or mouse wheel, and adjust brightness, contrast, and zoom per pane.
clean exports
Export a slice, a range, or the whole series
Save PNG, JPEG, or PDF output from the browser. The export dialog keeps the privacy promise visible while you choose exactly what to share.

03 free
Built for patients. Always free.
No account, no upload, no paywall. Here's how that works.
Your scan never leaves your device
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your DICOM files are never uploaded and never seen by anyone but you. To keep the sidebar quick, a small preview image of each series is kept on this device until you clear it. Choose “Clear thumbnail cache” in Settings to do that.
Designed for you, not radiologists
Hospital software is built for clinicians at clinical workstations. OpenMyScan is built for the patient at the kitchen table. It is calm, simple, and quiet enough to use at 10pm without a manual.
Always free for patients
No account, no subscription, no hidden tier. You've already paid for the scan. Viewing it on your own computer should not cost extra.
04 FAQ
Questions people actually ask
Q–01 What is a DICOM file?
Hospitals save MRI and CT slices as DICOM files rather than ordinary photos. OpenMyScan reads these files locally on your machine.
Q–02 Do you upload my scan somewhere?
No. Everything happens inside your browser tab. Close the tab and the images are gone from memory.
Q–03 Do I need to install anything?
No install, no sign-up. Open this page, drop your folder, done.
Q–04 Can I use this instead of seeing a doctor?
No. OpenMyScan helps you view your images; it is not a diagnostic tool. Always follow medical advice.
