Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any further questions please contact us. →
I've already had several hospital radiologists read my scans. Will Alpine actually see something they missed?+
Often, yes. Independent published research finds clinically significant interpretation differences in 15–30% of cases when imaging is re-read by subspecialists. Hospital radiology is generalist-led and throughput-pressured. We do nothing but subspecialty second opinions.
I have imaging going back several years. Can you really read all of it together?+
Yes — that's exactly what Alpine Longitudinal is for. Your subspecialist reads your current scan together with every prior study you provide, showing what's progressed, what's stable, what's new.
What if my doctor refuses to take the Alpine report seriously?+
Rare in practice. Every Alpine report follows the standard professional format physicians receive from hospital radiology: clinical history, findings, impressions, recommendations — plus a plain-language summary written for you.
My symptoms have been called "non-specific." Is a re-read even worth it?+
Yes, because imaging findings and symptom causation are two different questions. A subspecialist re-read can identify findings that were missed, under-described, or misclassified — and even a confirmed clean read is diagnostically valuable.
How do I know my data is secure?+
Your imaging travels over encrypted connections to Swiss-based servers and is stored encrypted at rest via Tresorit (zero-knowledge encryption). Only your assigned radiologist can access it. Files are never sold or used to train AI models — all diagnostic conclusions come from our radiologists.
Who actually reads my scan?+
A Swiss-licensed subspecialty radiologist matched to your scan type — neuroradiology for brain MRI, musculoskeletal for joint scans, breast imaging for mammograms, oncologic imaging for cancer follow-ups.
How is this different from going to another hospital?+
Three differences: (1) Subspecialty matching — an MSK specialist reads your knee MRI, not a generalist. (2) Independence — we don't perform surgery or treatment, so we have no incentive to read in any particular direction. (3) Integration — your full imaging history is read together, not in isolation.
How long does the review take, and how much does it cost?+
Standard delivery: 72 hours. Priority 24-hour delivery available for +CHF 60 (refunded if missed). Prices: Essential CHF 120, Conscientious CHF 192, Longitudinal CHF 240, Elite CHF 360. No referral required.
No delays. No compromises. Just secure, seamless transfer.
