Questions people actually ask

What is a DICOM file?

Hospitals save MRI and CT slices as DICOM — not ordinary photos. OpenMyScan reads these files locally on your machine.

Do you upload my scan somewhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser tab. Close the tab and the images are gone from memory.

Do I need to install anything?

No install, no sign-up. Open this page, drop your folder, done.

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.

Ready when you are
