Your scan, in plain language.
An iOS app that reads a medical image or a radiology report and explains it in clear language, in whichever language the question was asked. An educational tool, never a diagnosis.

Help a person understand their own imaging and reports, and send every clinical decision back to a licensed provider
The challenge.
Radiology is written for clinicians, not for patients. Someone leaves an appointment holding a chest X-ray, an MRI report full of terms like disc desiccation at L4-L5, or a result graded on a scale nobody explained, and the wait for the follow-up appointment is where the worry lives. The problem was not only turning that material into plain language, across ten languages and two very different kinds of input, images and documents. It had to be done inside a hard boundary: the app is an educational and informational tool, it is not a medical device, and it must never read as a diagnosis. Every answer therefore had to be useful enough to be worth opening, and framed clearly enough that the next step is always a conversation with a healthcare professional.
Clear answers, inside clear limits.
We built the app around a single conversation thread. It takes a photo of a scan or a report file, it answers under a fixed structure instead of a block of prose, and it carries its disclaimer in every reply rather than hiding it in the terms of use.
- Images and documents in one thread Users photograph or upload an X-ray, CT, MRI, mammogram or ultrasound, up to three views per turn for the extra projections common in mammography, echocardiography and spine imaging. A report, a lab result or a prior interpretation can be sent as PDF, DOCX, RTF or plain text.
- A structured reading, not a wall of text Answers come back under fixed headings, Modality, Technique and image quality, Findings, Impression, so they can be scanned the way a report is actually organized. Terms quoted from an uploaded report are taken one by one and unpacked.
- The disclaimer is part of the answer Every response reminds the reader to confirm any finding with a healthcare provider, and a what to ask your doctor block turns the reading into questions for the next appointment. Uploaded images are not retained after analysis.
- Ten languages, one interface The app is published in ten languages, among them Arabic, French, Spanish, Hindi and Turkish, and it answers in the language the question was written in. It is a universal app, running on both iPhone and iPad.
Key features.
The result.
AI Radiologist has been on the App Store since April 2026, free to download on iPhone and iPad, published in ten languages and now at version 1.0.17. Every new user starts with two free consultations, then tops up with one-time credit packs from $4.99, no subscription and no expiry. For us it is the clearest example of a build where the constraint made the product: an AI health tool that stays honest about what it is, an educational reading of a scan or a report, and that sends every clinical decision back to the person qualified to make it.
