Why patients use ReadingScan
The report was written for your doctor. Not for you.
Can't understand your report?
Radiology language is written for clinicians. Medical terms like "opacity" or "unremarkable" leave patients confused and anxious.
Waiting weeks for answers?
Public healthcare wait times can stretch to months. Private consultations cost hundreds. Uncertainty shouldn't last that long.
Left the office with more questions?
Appointment time is short. Doctors talk fast. You deserve time to understand what your imaging actually shows.

Key Takeaways
Your chest X-ray shows pneumonia in the middle section of your right lung. This is common and treatable, but it needs a doctor's attention today — sooner if you are short of breath or feel confused.
Findings
Pneumonia in the Right Middle Lobelobar consolidation
The middle section of the right lung has filled with fluid and inflammatory cells. Healthy lung is full of air and looks dark on an X-ray, so that area shows up white instead.
The Left Lung Is Clearclear lung field
The other lung shows none of the same whiteness, so the infection looks limited to one part of one lung.
Questions for Your Doctor
- •Which antibiotic am I starting, and when should I feel better?
- •Do I need a repeat X-ray later to confirm this has fully cleared?
Glossary
Consolidation — Lung tissue whose tiny air spaces have filled with fluid or pus. Air looks dark on an X-ray, so a consolidated area looks white.

How ReadingScan reads your report
Powerful AI is the smallest part of it. What matters is the discipline around it.
Quality gate first.
Before any AI runs, your file has to pass image-quality checks. Blurry photo, microscope eyepiece shot, handwritten notes — we refuse them up front and return the report to your balance, instead of guessing.
Look first, conclude later.
The AI must first describe what it sees — before it is allowed to classify or interpret anything. That independent first read is stored with every report, so there is always an audit trail.
A strict report structure.
The output has to fit a fixed medical format: findings, what they mean, what was ruled out, and the questions to bring to your doctor. Free-form guessing doesn't fit the format — that's the point.
Guardrails over trust.
Exam dates come from your document, never from the AI's memory. Your files are encrypted, never sold, and never used to train AI.
And when we can't read something confidently, we tell you — and return it to your balance.

I'm an engineer, not a doctor — and that's exactly why this exists.
I built ReadingScan after my own family sat with a radiology report none of us could read. If you've been there, you know the feeling — and today it happens faster than ever: the report lands in your patient portal the moment it's finalized, often before your own doctor has even seen it. Then comes the wait for an appointment — and when it finally arrives, you get about fifteen minutes. Those minutes are worth far more when you walk in already knowing what your report says, what to ask, and what the options might be. That's what this tool is for: not to replace your doctor, but to make your fifteen minutes count.
