Read Your X-ray Online in Minutes
Upload your X-ray image or the written report. Our AI reads it and explains every line in plain language — what the finding is, whether it's routine, and what to ask your doctor.
Your first X-ray report is free · No credit card required
Educational explanation — not a medical diagnosis or a substitute for your doctor
What your online X-ray reading includes
Every report answers the three questions patients actually have after an X-ray: what did they find, is it serious, and what do I do next?
Plain-language summary of every finding
Terms like 'no acute fracture', 'degenerative changes' or 'unremarkable' are translated into words you can understand, line by line.
What's routine vs. worth attention
Findings are grouped by urgency, so you can tell normal age-related wear from something worth discussing soon.
Questions to ask your doctor
A ready-made list of specific questions based on your actual X-ray findings, so your next appointment counts.
Results in about 5 minutes
No appointment, no waiting room. Upload your X-ray and your explanation is ready in roughly 5 minutes — day or night.

AI explanation vs. radiologist second opinion
Both have their place. We are honest about which one you need: ReadingScan explains your existing X-ray report; a licensed radiologist re-reads your images and can change the diagnosis.
| ReadingScan (AI explanation) | Radiologist second opinion | |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | About 5 minutes | Typically 1–3 business days |
| Cost | First report free, then from $9 | Often $100 or more |
| What you get | Plain-language explanation of the existing X-ray findings | A new official diagnostic read that can confirm or revise the original |
| Best for | Understanding your X-ray report before or after seeing your doctor | High-stakes decisions like surgery or a suspected tumor |
If your case involves a major treatment decision, we recommend both: use ReadingScan to understand the vocabulary today, and ask your doctor about a formal second opinion.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a medical diagnosis?
No. ReadingScan explains what your existing X-ray or report says in plain language. It is educational support, not a diagnosis — treatment decisions always belong to you and your doctor.
How fast will I get my X-ray reading?
Most reports are ready in about 5 minutes. You can leave the page and come back — your results are saved to your account.
What can an X-ray show — and what can't it?
X-rays are best for bone, joints, chest and dental imaging — fractures, arthritis, pneumonia, or dental issues on a panoramic view. They show far less soft-tissue detail than an MRI or CT, so a normal X-ray doesn't rule everything out. Our reading explains what your specific X-ray actually covered.
Is my health data safe?
Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, you control deletion, and we never sell health data.
Should I worry about radiation from the X-ray?
A single standard X-ray uses a very low dose of radiation — a chest X-ray is roughly the natural background radiation you'd get over a few days. The scan is already done by the time you read it here; ReadingScan only reads the resulting image or report and never exposes you to any radiation.
