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.

What type of app are you looking for?

DICOM Viewers

They open medical image files in the standard format used by clinics and hospitals, with zoom and contrast adjustment.

3D visualization

They transform CT scans and MRIs into 3D models that you can rotate and explore on your phone.

Atlas of anatomy

Designed for students and professionals, they show images from examinations with the body's structures identified.

Clinic portals

Many laboratories have their own app or website where the test results appear along with the report, eliminating the need for another application.

How to get started

  1. Request the exam in digital format. At the clinic, ask if the images can be delivered via link, app, or DICOM file.
  2. Download the app from the official store. Use only Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
