Viewing X-rays on your phone has become easy. With the right app, you can open X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs on the screen, zoom in on every detail, rotate images in 3D, and take your exams with you to any appointment, without needing CDs or printed film.
How to choose the right app
The first step is to find out how the clinic delivered your exam. If it was a DICOM file, which is the standard format for medical images, you need a DICOM viewer. If it was a link, it often opens directly in your browser. And if you are a student, radiological anatomy atlases can help you learn to recognize the body's structures.

How to get started
- Request the exam in digital format. At the clinic, ask if the images can be delivered via link, app, or DICOM file.
- Download the app from the official store. Use only Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone).
- Open the file in the application. Import the DICOM file or open the link you received. Use the zoom and contrast to see the details.
- Take him to the doctor. Show the images during the consultation. Only a healthcare professional can interpret the exam and provide a diagnosis.
Tips for greater success
Keep a copy of your exams.
Save the files in a folder in the cloud. This way you can take your medical history with you to any appointment, even if you change doctors.
Use your phone horizontally.
Imaging exams are much easier to view with the screen in landscape mode and the brightness at maximum.
Don't try to self-diagnose.
Images can help you understand what the doctor is explaining, but interpretation requires training. Bring your questions to the consultation.
