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, never stored, never seen by anyone but you. Close the tab and nothing remains.
Designed for you, not radiologists
Hospital software is built for clinicians at clinical workstations. OpenMyScan is built for the patient at the kitchen table — 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 — not 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.
