Who reads my radiology second opinion?
Every scan is reviewed by a Swiss board-certified radiologist with an active Swiss medical license, practicing in a Swiss hospital. Each is subspecialty-trained in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, breast imaging, or oncologic radiology.
Your knee MRI goes to a musculoskeletal specialist. Your mammogram to a breast imaging expert. Your brain MRI to a neuroradiologist, not a generalist. This subspecialty matching is one of the most important factors in diagnostic accuracy.
Alpine Diagnostics is independent, we don’t perform surgeries or treatments. Our radiologists have no incentive other than an honest, unbiased interpretation.
Can I use my radiology second opinion report with my doctor?
Yes. Every report is a formal radiological interpretation in the same professional format physicians receive from hospital radiology departments — detailed findings, clinical impressions, and follow-up recommendations.
Most treating physicians welcome a subspecialist second opinion. It provides diagnostic input that can support, refine, or change the treatment plan.
Each report also includes a plain-language patient summary so you can understand your results before handing the technical report to your doctor.
→ Get a report your doctor will value, professional, detailed, and clear.
What imaging types does your radiology second opinion cover?
We review MRI, CT, X-rays, mammograms, and ultrasound covering all body regions, brain, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and musculoskeletal.
Our subspecialists cover: pre-surgery confirmation, cancer/oncology staging and surveillance, breast imaging (BI-RADS 3–4), sports injuries (ACL, meniscus, rotator cuff, stress fractures), neurological imaging (MS, stroke, lesions), whole-body longevity screening (Prenuvo, HLI), and chronic condition monitoring across multiple studies.

→ Upload your scan now, we cover virtually all imaging types and body regions.
What if the radiology second opinion agrees with my original report?
That’s a valuable outcome, you can proceed with your treatment with significantly greater confidence. Think of it as diagnostic insurance.
Research shows radiology second opinions find clinically significant discrepancies in up to 30% of cases. Confirming the original reading gives you and your physician solid ground to proceed.
Either way, you gain clarity. There is no losing scenario in getting a radiology second opinion.
→ Invest in certainty, from CHF 120.
