What is ScanExplain?
ScanExplain takes your radiology report — the one full of terms like heterogeneous echotexture, BI-RADS 4, or cannot rule out malignancy — and translates it into clear, plain language anyone can understand. No medical degree needed.
Just paste the text from your CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, or mammography report. In seconds, you get a complete breakdown: what each finding means, how serious the overall results are, what to do next, and what questions to ask your doctor.
Why we built this
Radiology reports are written by doctors, for doctors. That makes sense — radiologists communicate with referring physicians using precise medical language. But patients see these reports too, and the jargon creates real anxiety.
Searching medical terms on Google makes it worse. One normal finding can lead you down a rabbit hole of worst-case scenarios. And when you finally get five minutes with your doctor, there is not enough time to go through every line of a complex report.
ScanExplain was built with radiologists to bridge that gap. It does not replace your doctor — it helps you walk into your next appointment better prepared, with the right questions already in hand.

- Get your explanation — AI translates every finding into plain English, with severity context
