Frequently Asked Questions

How do I send my medical scans to a doctor for a second opinion?

Open your study in MedSlice, select the most relevant series or key slices, export them as high-quality JPG images (or a ZIP / PDF report), and email or upload them directly to your consulting specialist.

Should I send all slices or only the key ones?

Do not send more images than necessary. Focusing on the key slices showing the pathology with calibrated Window/Level contrast helps the consulting doctor review your case much faster.

What if the specialist asks for anonymized files?

If the specialist requests anonymized files, use the MedSlice Anonymizer tool first to strip your personal identifiers while preserving full diagnostic data.

Are my medical images uploaded when exporting?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your medical records never leave your computer.
