AI Tools That Explain Your Radiology Report, Compared (2026)
Several tools now promise to explain a scan report in plain English. They differ in what they read, what they cost, and what happens to your report afterwards.
Quick answer
Most tools explain the radiologist's written report, not the images. Radily ($4.99 per report, no account) and Read My MRI ($99) focus on imaging reports; Wizey explains any medical text report with the first breakdown free, then credits from $2.99; Docus is a general AI health assistant with a free tier; Read Your Scan reads the images themselves ($9–$45). General assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude can also explain a report you paste in. All of them are educational — your doctor's reading is the one that counts.
How we compared them
Disclosure: Radily is part of the Zapx Labs portfolio. Every price, feature and privacy statement below comes from each provider's own site as of 1 October 2026, linked at the end. Where a site publishes accuracy rates or user counts, we have left them out because we could not verify them.
Report explainers
- Radily: explains CT, MRI and X-ray reports uploaded as a PDF or image — a plain-English explanation, glossary, suggested next steps and questions for your doctor, with an optional AI video. $4.99 per report, no subscription or account. Identifying details are removed before storage; reports are not used for training and are deleted after 30 days.
- Read My MRI: an AI summary of the radiologist's text report for MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound and PET. $99 flat. It says it is not covered by HIPAA but voluntarily follows it, and keeps accounts until you ask for deletion.
- Wizey: explains text reports from labs, imaging and discharge summaries, but does not read the images. First breakdown free, then $2.99 for one credit, $7.99 for five or $12.99 for ten; credits never expire. On iOS, Android and web.
- Docus: a general AI health assistant covering symptoms and test results; imaging reports are not explicitly listed. Free tier (three messages a week), Lite $3.99 a month, Pro $7.99 a month billed annually.
Image readers and general assistants
- Read Your Scan: reads the scan images themselves rather than the report, with images de-identified in your browser. A free viewer, then $9 for flat images, $19 for MRI or CT, or $45 for three exams.
- General assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude: they can explain a report you paste in. Both have added health features with record connections in some countries; check what each says about health data and training before you share a report.
