We review MRI, CT, MSCT, PET-CT, SPECT, scintigraphy, MRA and CT angiography slice by slice. We do not rewrite someone else’s description — we read the study from scratch.

WHERE OPINIONS DIVERGE

One scan.
Different conclusions.

Diagnostic imaging is interpretation. The very same nodule, the very same lesion can be assigned to different risk categories by two different specialists. The difference between the lines of a report determines what happens to the patient next.

01

Description instead of analysis

Reports are written from templates, controversial details are smoothed over with vague wording — and the decision is shifted onto the patient.

02

Findings that are missing from the text

Septa, mural nodules, microcalcifications, dynamics compared with the previous scan. These are exactly what change the category.

03

Incomplete protocol

No diffusion, no dynamic contrast enhancement, lymph nodes not described — the picture remains incomplete.

Brain MRI slice
REAL CASE · CHILD
CASE 01 · PEDIATRIC NEURORADIOLOGY

“An aneurysm”,
that never existed

  • The report contained the word “aneurysm”

    The child’s brain scan report contained a word that keeps parents awake at night.

  • The parents came to us

    We took the study into review and went through all the slices again, without relying on the original description.

  • We saw something else

    Location, shape and density pointed not to an aneurysm but to a calcification of the right tentorium — a harmless calcified membrane that requires nothing.

  • But it was too early to say that

    You cannot judge the vessels from a study that does not show them. We recommended MRA and a brain MRI — without contrast and without radiation exposure.

  • Result

    There is no aneurysm. The vessels are fine. The tentorium calcification on the right is exactly where we described it. The child is healthy.

“No evidence of aneurysm”

— the wording of our report before further testing
CT of the temporal bones
TEMPORAL BONE CT · CHOLESTEATOMA
CASE 02 · ENT / TEMPORAL BONE CT

They were treating otitis.
It was a cholesteatoma

  • The CT diagnosis was otitis media

    The child was prescribed a long course of antibiotics. The treatment did not help; the condition kept worsening.

  • The mother came to us

    We took the temporal bone CT into review and re-read the slices ourselves.

  • The picture did not match otitis

    Soft-tissue content with bone destruction — we interpreted the finding as a cholesteatoma.

  • A differential diagnosis was recommended

    MRI of the middle ear in DWI — diffusion-weighted images make it possible to distinguish a cholesteatoma from inflammatory content.

  • Result

    MRI confirmed the cholesteatoma. Surgeons operated on the child. His life is no longer in danger; he has recovered.

The antibiotics did not work because they were treating the wrong thing

— a cholesteatoma cannot be treated conservatively, it requires surgery
MRI of the brain
BRAIN MRI · POST-ISCHEMIC LESION
CASE 03 · DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

They prepared him for surgery
for a glioma

  • The report said glioma

    A brain MRI described a glial-series lesion. Surgery was scheduled for the patient.

  • Independent expert review

    Our specialists reviewed the study before any intervention.

  • The characteristics did not match a tumor

    The location, shape and signal characteristics of the lesion pointed not to a tumor but to post-ischemic changes.

  • Result

    It was a post-ischemic lesion: the patient had had a stroke that went unrecognized in time. Tumor surgery was not needed.

Not a glial tumor, but the aftermath of a stroke

— the difference between neurosurgery and neurological treatment
MRI of the lumbar spine
SPINE MRI · LIGAMENT EDEMA, NOT SEQUESTRUM
CASE 04 · SPINE L4-L5-S1

An urgent surgery
that was avoided

  • The outside report read “12 mm sequestration with stenosis”

    A 42-year-old patient with acute low back pain was diagnosed with a sequestered L5-S1 herniation compressing a nerve root, and urgent surgery (discectomy) was scheduled.

  • An independent review of all series from scratch

    The physician correlated T1, T2 and STIR sequences in all planes: a pronounced edema of the posterior longitudinal ligament had been mistaken for a sequestrum. An ordinary 3.2 mm protrusion without compression of the dural sac or nerve was identified.

  • Result

    The surgery was canceled. A course of conservative therapy and physiotherapy followed. Three weeks later the pain was resolved and the patient returned to work — no incisions, no anesthesia.

Ligament edema instead of a herniated sequestrum

— the difference between open spinal surgery and 3 weeks of physiotherapy
CT of the chest
LUNG CT · 4 MM LESION IN SEGMENT S1
CASE 05 · ONCOLOGY SCREENING / LUNGS

A 4 mm lung lesion:
caught at stage 1

  • The plain X-ray read “lung fields clear”

    A 56-year-old patient was having a routine chest X-ray. On a plain X-ray, small lesions up to 5 mm in the lung apices are often hidden behind the clavicle and ribs.

  • Slice-by-slice analysis of 1-mm CT images on a workstation

    The family insisted on a CT and sent the archive for a second opinion. In the lung window, the physician identified a solid 4.2 mm lesion with spiculated contours in segment S1 of the right lung.

  • Result

    Early detection of an in-situ adenocarcinoma before symptoms and metastases. Organ-sparing thoracoscopic resection was performed. The patient is fully healthy, without chemotherapy.

A 4 mm lesion detected before symptoms appeared

— the difference between a complete cure at stage 1 and an advanced cancer

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions

Everything worth knowing before sending your scan for a second opinion.

1. Does your report carry official weight with my treating physician?
+

Yes, absolutely. You receive an official written imaging report in an established format with a detailed description of the slices, a conclusion, recommendations and the personal signature of a certified radiologist (MD PhD or top-category physician). With this document you can consult your treating physician, an oncologist, a neurologist, a neurosurgeon or any clinic.

2. My scan is several months or a year old — is a review still worth it?
+

Yes. Archive studies are invaluable for assessing dynamics (has the lesion grown, is the process stable, has the treatment worked). Moreover, if symptoms or pain persist, an independent review of the older slices can reveal hidden details and micro-changes that may have been missed in the first, cursory reading.

3. What if I only have film and no disc?
+

By law, a diagnostic center or clinic is obliged to provide a free digital copy of your study on CD/DVD or your USB drive. Simply contact the reception or archive of the clinic where you had your scan and request the DICOM archive.

4. How long does a review take and how soon do I get the result?
+

A standard independent report is ready within 24–48 hours. If a decision about surgery or hospitalization must be made today, an urgent tariff is available — a priority queue within 7 hours.

5. Can I ask the physician questions after receiving the report?
+

Yes — we never leave a patient alone with medical jargon. After receiving the report you can ask any follow-up questions in Telegram (@mri_online) or by e-mail, or order a 40-minute video review of your scans.

6. Is the confidentiality of my medical data safe?
+

All data and files are transferred over an encrypted SSL protocol (HTTPS) and stored in a protected environment. We strictly observe medical confidentiality and personal data protection laws.

SEND YOUR SCAN

Send us the archive —
a physician reads the rest

We need the original DICOM in full, as an archive: the tomograms themselves — not a photo of the film and not the text of the report.
Files up to 20 MB can be attached directly in the form. If your study is larger — upload the archive to Yandex.Disk, Mail.ru Cloud or Google Drive and paste the link.

Free express check of archive readability (0 ₽)
Preliminary file quality check before payment is confirmed

Not sure whether all the slices were written to the disc or whether the file will open? Attach an archive or a link — a physician will check readability, series completeness and suitability of the scans for expert review free of charge, before payment.

Check the archive for free (0 ₽) ↓
An MRI archive usually weighs 200–800 MB. Such a file will not fit into an e-mail: upload it to Yandex.Disk, Google Drive or Mail.ru Cloud and paste the link — that is enough.

Don’t want to fill in the form — write directly on Telegram (@mri_online_gr) or by email; the archive will still be needed as a file, not as a photo.
