With mRay you can now connect your entire hospital or doctor’s office with just one app that enables instant case based communication! We developed mRay to combine the power and mobility of modern mobile devices to access your radiological images anywhere and anytime. In contrast to other solutions, mRay is specifically designed for mobile devices. Important tools like annotations and measurements are available as well as an adaptable level window. Image data is encrypted and stored temporally locally on the device, removing the need of a permanent Internet or Wi-Fi connection while ensuring highest security standards. Most notably, mRay implements well-established security measures to protect your image data and privacy. An individual user and device authentication controls the image access of every user for every image. With mRay you are ensuring a high standard of networking with your colleagues anytime and anywhere. The integrated Instant Messenger offers a secure communication platform to share DICOM images as well as key images, audio and text messages. E.g. now you can easily share the current state of your viewer with another colleague to get a secondary opinion. Moreover the app offers a telephony feature using VoIP enabling every aspect of mobile devices without compromising patient confidentiality. Last but not least, mRay works seamlessly with your existing infrastructure. A minimal server application needs to be installed which reads DICOM files from the disk and is able to receive files directly from your PACS. That’s all you need to start simplifying your everyday life at work! You can check out the app in a demo mode. Do you want to view your patients’ image data anywhere and at anytime? mRay enables physicians to access images at home while on background duty or on the go.

Image processing allows the calculation and visualization of healthy and abnormal tissues. The patient group, for which mRay can be used, includes all patients from whom radiological image data has been created for the purpose of diagnosis or treatment. In a worst-case scenario the medical condition of the patient may be critical. mRay can be operated in hospitals, medical practices, on the go or at home. The software is dedicated for mobile devices for fast and immediate access to radiologic images for informational purposes. When using mRay for diagnostic purposes, national regulations must be considered and an appropriate display must be used. mRay allows the display of images and data types that are defined by the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard (e.g. computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), fluoroscopy (XA), digital x-ray (CR), ultrasound (US)). The software offers common radiological software tools (e.g. windowing, measurements, thick slices and annotations).

Falcon Mx's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (282 vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Falcon Mx holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Falcon Mx has 282 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of mRay's written reviews are positive against 50% of Falcon Mx's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

mRay ships an update every 2 months, Falcon Mx fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
