Short Answer
If a foreign patient wants meaningful specialist review, send the formal imaging report, original file export when possible, a short case summary, and clear labeling by date and body area. Screenshots alone often leave too much missing context.
What To Send
- Formal imaging report
- Original imaging export such as DICOM files when available
- Patient name and date of birth matching the report
- Scan date, body area, and reason for review
- Concise summary of symptoms, diagnosis, and current question
How To Organize The Files
- Use folders labeled by date and modality
- Keep the report in the same folder as the source images
- Separate old and new scans clearly
- Note whether contrast was used when the report states it
Questions To Ask The Hospital
- Which file format can the hospital review?
- Should the files be uploaded through a portal or cloud link?
- Who reviews the imaging and how long does triage take?
- Does the specialist need additional reports or pathology?
