Downloading Scans in 3DICOM

Save a Copy of Your Medical Scans

Secure storage and improved access to medical imaging are central to 3DICOM’s design. While all imaging data uploaded to 3DICOM is stored securely and in compliance with medical data standards by default, 3DICOM also provides the added flexibility to download a local copy when needed.
