A radiologist reads your scan and writes you a report you can act on. Upload the study your hospital gave you. A board certified radiologist, matched to the subspecialty your scan needs, reads it and signs an independent report in 24 to 48 hours. If you would rather talk it through, book a twenty minute video call with the same doctor. WHO READS YOUR SCAN Named, board certified radiologists with subspecialty training: neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, body and abdominal imaging, breast, cardiac imaging and nuclear medicine. You see who they are, what they read and how quickly they answer before you choose one. WHAT YOU SEND DICOM files, the ZIP from a hospital CD, a link from a hospital portal, a photo of the film, or a report you already have. The whole study, every series, not one screenshot. WHAT COMES BACK Findings, a clear conclusion and a recommended next step, in language you can read, with every term explained. Signed by the radiologist who read it. ORBIUS, THE FIRST READ Orbius is our AI radiology assistant. It opens your study series by series and drafts a structured report in minutes, so your radiologist starts from findings rather than a blank page. You can read that draft while you wait. It is a draft for a doctor to review, not a diagnosis. YOUR REPORT IN THE APP Your report opens as a page, not a PDF. Tap Explain my report for an AI-written, plain-language walkthrough of each finding, and tap any term to see what it means. You can switch between Orbius's first read and your radiologist's report on the same scan, and open your images from the report. OPEN THE IMAGES YOURSELF Scroll the whole series, zoom and measure, in the same viewer your radiologist reads on. WHAT WE READ MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, PET-CT, bone and thyroid scintigraphy, and theranostics. NO REFERRAL, NO SUBSCRIPTION You do not need a referral. There is no subscription and no insurance paperwork. You pay per scan. YOUR IMAGES STAY YOURS Encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is scoped to the specialist on your case. Orbius drafts a report for a radiologist to review. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace your doctor.
