## The Problem

Patients may find themselves receiving a CD-ROM disc from their physician containing the images from their recent MRI, CT, X-ray, or other imaging studies. These images usually are DICOM files which require a specialized viewer to read.

## The Solution

To make it easier for patients to view their scans, we created a free site that allows visitors to drag and drop their DICOM files to view them immediately in the browser without the need to download and install additional software.

You can find the site [here](https://viewmyscans.com/).
