“This partnership is win-win for all,” said Dan Hodgeman, CEO and founder of mymedicalimages.com. “Backed by decades of orthopaedics and imaging experience, we couldn’t be more excited to help enhance the physician-patient relationship. Especially now, in the growing world of telemedicine and second opinions. mymedicalimages is simply a better way to get images from patients.” 

With mymedicalimages, physicians and patients can instantly receive or share medical images (DICOM). Free to physicians, patients can upload medical images by clicking a simple mymedicalimages “Uploader Button” placed onto the practice webpage. There, patients upload their medical images directly into the provider account where the files can be quickly viewed or transferred to their PACS digital imaging system.

According to New York orthopaedic surgeon David Helfet, MD, FAAOS, this new technology brings a long overdue solution to many problems. “It’s common for us (surgeons) to receive requests from colleagues to provide an opinion on a case, only to receive a low-quality photo via an unsecured email or text. Even worse, new patients will often mail or bring in their images on CDs that we cannot open. By using mymedicalimages, I can see the images, reports, and notes within seconds, and at no cost.”

“We are excited to welcome mymedicalimages to the AAOS Member Advantage Program,” said Ben Harkinson, vice president, AAOS Commercial Solutions. “Together with our partners, we strive to offer value-added solutions to support AAOS Members.
