What Scan Explained is — and what it isn't.

Scan Explained is a radiologist-guided education service. The session is built around the wording of your existing imaging report, with optional anatomy orientation when image access is available.

The session is not a second opinion, an independent re-read of the scan, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment or follow-up advice, urgency or emergency guidance, or individualized clinical decision-making. The radiologist who leads the session does not become your treating physician and does not enter into a physician-patient relationship with you through this service. Your treating clinicians remain responsible for evaluating your symptoms, deciding on diagnosis, advising on treatment, deciding on follow-up, and addressing urgent concerns.

If you need medical advice, treatment guidance, an independent re-read, or help deciding what to do next clinically, that should come from your healthcare team. If you are experiencing urgent or emergency symptoms, contact your treating clinician or local emergency services.

Sessions are not recorded. Any post-session summary is a short educational recap of the terms and concepts discussed, and questions to bring to your treating clinician — not a medical opinion.
