Contact the Imaging Provider
Contact the hospital, clinic or imaging centre where your scan was performed and ask how you can obtain a copy of your imaging study. You may be asked to verify your identity or complete a release request.
Request the Imaging Files
Depending on the provider, your images may be supplied through a patient portal, secure download, CD or USB drive. Medical imaging studies are commonly provided in DICOM format.
Upload to Hospitual
Once you have your files, start your Hospitual case and securely upload the imaging study together with your available reports and relevant clinical information.
