JPEG or PNG up to 5 MB, or single-image DICOM (.dcm) up to 30 MB. Drag & drop or click to choose.

What is an X-ray?

An X-ray (radiograph) is a fast, low-dose medical image that shows bones, lungs, and dense tissues on a single 2D view. This page accepts single-image radiographs: chest X-rays (PA, AP, lateral), extremity X-rays (knee, ankle, wrist, hand, foot, shoulder, elbow), abdominal KUB, and similar plain films. JPEG, PNG, and single-frame DICOM (.dcm) are supported — including phone photos of printed films. For CT or MRI studies with many slices, use the DICOM scanner page.

We also analyze panoramic dental X-rays (OPG / orthopantomogram) and other teeth X-rays — flagging missing, impacted, or unerupted wisdom teeth, dental implants, crowns, fillings and root canals, possible cavities, and bone loss. This is an AI screening overview, so always have a dentist review your dental X-ray.

How AI X-ray analysis works

Once you upload, our medical AI reads the image, identifies abnormalities visible on the view, and produces a structured radiology report: a plain-language explanation, severity-coded key points (urgent / warning / normal), a clinical summary with findings and impression, and suggested questions to ask your doctor. Highlighted findings appear as clickable boxes directly on your image so you can see exactly where the AI is looking. A single X-ray view has limits, so the report always recommends radiologist review.

What Our AI Detects in Your X-ray

From chest, bone, and joint X-rays to panoramic dental radiographs, our medical AI returns a structured plain-language report you can actually understand — before you see your doctor.

Bones, Joints & Chest X-rays

From broken bones and dislocations to chest and abdominal films, the AI flags fractures, joint dislocations, pneumonia, pleural effusion, lung nodules, cardiomegaly, foreign bodies, free air, and bowel obstruction — then explains each finding in plain language.

Dental & Panoramic X-rays

Upload a panoramic dental X-ray (OPG) or teeth X-ray and the AI reviews your full set of teeth — missing, impacted, or unerupted wisdom teeth, dental implants, crowns, fillings and root canals, possible cavities, gum-line bone loss, and cysts around the roots.

Plain-Language Reports

Each finding is explained in everyday words, plus a clinical summary in standard radiology terms you can share with your doctor or take to your next appointment.

Visual Findings on Your Image

Highlighted findings appear as clickable boxes directly on your X-ray, so you can see exactly where the AI is pointing and what each abnormality looks like.

JPEG, PNG, or DICOM

Works with phone photos of printed X-rays, screenshots exported from your patient portal, or original single-image DICOM files from the imaging center.

Privacy First

Your X-ray is encrypted in transit and at rest, never shared with third parties, and you can delete it anytime. GDPR compliant.

X-ray Analysis FAQ

Common questions about AI X-ray analysis, supported file formats, accuracy, and our radiology reports.

What types of X-rays can ReadYourLab analyze?
ReadYourLab supports single-image plain radiographs: chest X-rays (PA, AP, lateral), extremity X-rays (knee, ankle, wrist, hand, foot, shoulder, elbow), abdominal KUB, and pelvic films. We accept JPEG, PNG, and single-frame DICOM (.dcm) files. For multi-slice CT or MRI studies, use the DICOM scanner page instead.

Can I analyze a dental or panoramic X-ray (teeth X-ray)?
Yes. ReadYourLab reads panoramic dental X-rays (OPG / orthopantomogram) and other teeth X-rays, and returns a plain-language report covering missing, impacted, or unerupted wisdom teeth, dental implants, crowns, fillings and root canals, possible cavities, bone loss, and cysts around the roots. This is an AI screening overview, so always have a dentist review your X-ray and confirm any findings.

How accurate is AI X-ray analysis?
Our medical AI is trained on millions of radiographs and reliably identifies common findings such as pneumonia, pleural effusion, lung nodules, cardiomegaly, fractures, and dislocations. AI is not a replacement for a board-certified radiologist, and a single X-ray view has inherent limitations (overlapping structures, projection effects, subtle findings). Use the report as an informed first look to prepare for your appointment. Read more about accuracy and limitations.

Can I upload a phone photo of a printed X-ray?
Yes. The AI works on JPEG and PNG images, including phone photos of printed films or screen captures from your patient portal. For best results, photograph the film against a uniform background, in focus, taken straight-on without glare, with the entire image visible. If you have access to the original DICOM file from the imaging center, that gives the highest accuracy.

What does the X-ray report include?
Each report contains: a plain-language explanation of what your X-ray shows, severity-coded key points (urgent / warning / normal), clickable bounding boxes on the image pointing to each finding, a clinical summary with findings and impression in standard radiology terms you can share with your doctor, and suggested follow-up questions for your next appointment.

Is my first X-ray analysis free?
Yes. Your first X-ray analysis is free with no credit card required. After that, affordable credit packages cover additional analyses, and your credits never expire. See pricing.

Is my X-ray data private and secure?
Yes. Your X-ray is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256). We never sell or share your data with third parties, and you can delete any X-ray and its report anytime from your account. ReadYourLab is GDPR compliant. Read our data security policy.

Can the AI replace my doctor or radiologist?
No. AI X-ray analysis is a triage and education tool, not a medical diagnosis. A single X-ray view has limits — overlapping anatomy, projection effects, and subtle findings can be missed even by experienced radiologists. Always have a board-certified radiologist or your doctor review the actual images before making any medical decisions. Compare AI vs. radiologist review.
