What the research shows

roughly one exam in four

26.2%

82%

of those discrepancies are resolved in favour of the second radiologist

Independent international research on radiology second opinions — not our internal statistics.

A second read
of your scan

An independent written read by a second radiologist. Same images, looked at from scratch — with no anchoring on what the first report concluded.

More: have a radiologist read my MRI

01

A formal written report

Delivered as a PDF signed with a qualified electronic signature (QES). It is a legally valid document and can be verified at czo.gov.ua.

02

Plain English alongside

A separate section, written without the Latin and the jargon — what we see, what it likely means, and just as importantly, what it does not mean.

03

Concrete next steps

Which specialist to see, which follow-up imaging or labs are warranted, and on what timeline. Not a vague "please consult a specialist."

04

Prior studies, included

If you have earlier scans, I read the new one against them — so any real change is visible, not just described in isolation. Included in every tier, no surcharge.

Non-contrast

2 500 UAH (≈ $65)

24–72 hours

With contrast

3 500 UAH (≈ $92)

24–72 hours

In both tiers

  • ·A full independent re-read of the images, not anchored on the first report
  • ·A written report in structured medical English — PDF signed by the radiologist
  • ·A plain-English summary and concrete next steps
  • ·Prior studies compared — no surcharge

Why contrast costs more: a contrast study has two to three times as many series and phases to read. Whether contrast was used is stated in your report — if unsure, send the images and I will tell you.

Reports for international patients are written in structured medical English (BI-RADS/PI-RADS/RECIST where applicable) — a full re-read plus professional English reporting, which is why this tier is priced above the Ukrainian-language report.

Before any invoice goes out, I take a first look at your study. If it isn't of diagnostic quality, I tell you what to do next — at no charge.

Your report,
in plain English

When you don't need a fresh read — you just need to understand the report you already have. No Latin, no jargon, with the focus on what to do next.

The radiologist

Oleksandr Berezovskyi

Senior Consultant Radiologist · in practice since 2008

A clinical radiologist working in the value-based radiology tradition: a report should not just describe the image — it should make the next step obvious to the patient and to the referring doctor.

Over the course of my career I have read 50,000+ MRI and CT studies. Member of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), European Society of Oncologic Imaging (ESOI), European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR), and the Association of Radiologists of Ukraine (ARU).

On the side: a master's in AI/ML, and the founder of RadVoice — a structured voice-reporting tool for radiologists.

Legal & safeguards

The legal footing.

§01

Licensed Ukrainian medical practice

Service delivered by a Ukrainian Sole Proprietor (Group 3) holding a Ministry of Health license for medical practice in radiology (MOH order no. 973 of 16 July 2026).

§02

Qualified electronic signature

Every report is signed with a Ukrainian qualified electronic signature (QES) — the EU-equivalent e-signature. The PDF is a legally valid document.

§03

GDPR-aligned

Your data is processed only to produce your report. Transfer to third parties is prohibited. EU-grade safeguards apply.

§04

DICOM encryption

Files are stored in an encrypted S3 bucket. Access is restricted to the radiologist on the case.

§05

Deletion after delivery

DICOM files are deleted once you have confirmed receipt of the report — no later than 30 days after delivery.

§06

Confidential by default

Your original doctor is not contacted and never receives a notification. Asking for a second opinion is your right.

Reference

The questions
people rarely ask
out loud.

If your question isn't here, drop it in the bot — I answer personally.

Q.01What if you find something serious?
+

Then you hear it from a doctor who explains it to you in plain English. Not getting bad news doesn't mean it isn't there. Knowing is better.

Q.02Does this mean my doctor was wrong?
+

Almost never. Radiology is hard. In around 67% of cases a second read refines the plan rather than overturns it.

Q.03Will my doctor find out I asked for a second opinion?
+

No. Strict confidentiality. I do not contact your treating physician unless you specifically ask me to.

Q.04My DICOM files are huge. How do I send them?
+

Through Telegram the bot accepts archives up to 20 MB. For anything larger, email the archive or share a cloud link (Google Drive and similar) — the bot walks you through both options at the upload step.

Q.05How long does it really take?
+

24–72 hours is the guaranteed window. Often it's faster, depending on when in the day you submit.

Q.06What if I have several studies from different years?
+

Ideal case. Send them all and I'll read them side by side — that is the comparison tier at 3 500 UAH (≈ $92).

Q.07I'm not in Ukraine. Does this work internationally?
+

Yes — fully remote. The report can be issued in English or Ukrainian, your choice.

Q.08What if the written report still doesn't fully click?
+

There is a separate product for that — the Plain-English Read (1 500 UAH / ≈ $40, video walkthrough) or a 10–15 minute live consult on Google Meet or Zoom (2 000 UAH / ≈ $55).

Q.09Is my personal data safe?
+

Yes. Licensed Ukrainian medical practice, GDPR-aligned, encryption at rest, file deletion after delivery (no later than 30 days), audit log of every access.

Q.10What if I just need to talk to a human?
+

That is exactly what the 10–15 minute live consult is for. It does not replace your treating doctor — but it is often the missing piece of clarity that lets you decide what to do next.

One last step

Less anxiety.
More clarity.

You don't have to figure it out on your own. Send the scans through the Telegram bot — I'll send back a report that tells you what to do next.
