Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any further questions please contact us. →
How do I send my scans for a radiology second opinion?+
Upload your DICOM files through our secure portal, it takes about 5 minutes, no appointment needed. We accept MRI, CT, X-ray, and mammography files, which you can get from your imaging center on a CD, USB, or via patient portal download. Most hospitals are required to provide copies on request, and the portal is available 24/7 in English, German, and Russian.
How quickly will I receive my radiology second opinion?+
Standard delivery: 72 hours. Priority delivery: 24 hours (+CHF 60). Average turnaround is approximately 36 hours. Your report is delivered securely through your account, with an email notification when ready. If a Priority 24h deadline is not met, the priority fee is refunded.
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, subspecialty-trained in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, breast imaging, or oncologic radiology. Alpine Diagnostics is independent — we don't perform surgeries or treatments, so 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, plus a plain-language patient summary.
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 — including pre-surgery confirmation, oncology staging, breast imaging (BI-RADS 3–4), sports injuries, neurological imaging, whole-body longevity screening, and chronic condition monitoring.
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. Research shows radiology second opinions find clinically significant discrepancies in up to 30% of cases, so confirming the original reading gives you and your physician solid ground to proceed. There is no losing scenario in getting a radiology second opinion.
How much does a radiology second opinion cost?+
Alpine Essential from CHF 120 (one radiologist), Alpine Conscientious from CHF 192 (two radiologists, consensus report), Alpine Longitudinal from CHF 240 (full imaging history analysis). All packages offer Priority 24h delivery for +CHF 60, with transparent, fixed pricing worldwide and no hidden fees.
No delays. No compromises. Just secure, seamless transfer.
