01
You send the picture
A JPEG or PNG of the scan, a screenshot from the patient portal, or a photo of the film on the lightbox. Patients and clinics can both upload.
Second look · plain English
Your scan, in words you’d actually understand.
LaymanReport reads medical images — X-rays, MRIs, CTs, ultrasounds, pathology slides, even a photo of the printout — then explains what it sees in everyday language, with a narrated video over your actual picture.
From pixels to a conversation.
Radiology reports are written for other clinicians. You deserve the same information in a voice that doesn’t assume you went to medical school.
02
It reads like a specialist
The model looks at the image in high detail, writes a clinical impression, then translates every term into plain English with analogies you can hold onto.
03
You get a spoken walk-through
A natural voice explains the findings over your scan — zooming, pointing, and pausing — so you can watch it, replay it, and take it to your next appointment.
Who it’s for
A second look for patients. A translator for clinics.
After a scan, most people leave with a PDF they cannot parse and a follow-up weeks away. LaymanReport sits in that gap: it does not replace the official read. It makes the official read — or a careful second pass at the image — understandable.

The same finding, twice: once for the chart, once for a human being.
Clinical
“Mild cardiomegaly with a cardiothoracic ratio of approximately 0.55. No focal consolidation. Costophrenic angles are sharp.”
Layman
“Your heart looks a little larger than the usual postcard-size on this picture — like a pump sitting in a slightly snug box. The lungs themselves look clear, and the corners where they meet the diaphragm are crisp, which is what we want to see.”
What this is not.
LaymanReport is an educational second look. It is not a medical device, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for a licensed clinician who knows your history. If you think something is an emergency, go to emergency care — don’t wait on a website.
We don’t keep your scan
Images are sent for this reading only. We do not store them as a patient archive.
Uncertainty stays visible
If the picture is unclear, the report says so. Inventing findings is worse than saying “I can’t tell.”
Your clinician still leads
Take the video and the written translation to the person who can examine you and compare priors.
Bring the film into the living room.
Upload a scan. Get a reading you can replay, pause, and actually follow.

Patient mode: a second look in plain English, with a narrated walk-through.
Hospitals & practices
Send patients home with a video they can follow.
After an imaging visit, most people nod, drive home, and Google the words they half-heard. Give them a narrated walk-through of their own scan instead — generated from the image you already have, in language a family member can sit through.
Same image, two layers
Keep the clinical impression for the chart. Hand the patient the plain-English video and glossary.
Minutes, not a new staff role
Upload the study or a key screenshot. Review. Send. No new workstation, no dictation queue.
You stay the authority
The video is a translation aid. The signed report and the treating clinician still decide next steps.
Privacy
LaymanReport is built so a scan can be understood without becoming a new copy of your medical record.
What we receive
When you upload an image, it is sent to our server for that request and then to the analysis and speech models that produce the report and narration. We do not operate a patient archive. Images are not kept as a library of scans after the response is returned.
What we ask you not to send
Avoid names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, and faces when you can. Crop them out of portal screenshots. The model is instructed not to repeat identifiers, but the safest upload is one that never included them.
HIPAA
This public site is not a covered entity’s designated record set and is not offered under a Business Associate Agreement unless we have signed one with your organization. Do not use it as a hospital’s official imaging archive.

Terms
By using LaymanReport you agree to the following.
Educational use only
Outputs are informational. They are not medical advice, a diagnosis, a prescribed treatment, or a signed radiology, pathology, or clinical report. Always review findings with a licensed clinician who can examine you and compare prior studies.
Emergencies
If you think you may be having a medical emergency, call local emergency services. Do not wait for an AI reading.
No warranty
The service may misread an image, miss a finding, or overstate one. Image quality, missing series, and lack of clinical context all limit accuracy. You use the service as-is.
Your content
You represent that you have the right to upload the image (it is yours, you are the patient, or you are a clinician/staff member authorized to create a patient-facing explanation).
