Medical Companion · MRI reports
Your MRI report, made calmer and clearer
Understand the written findings, medical phrases, comparisons and conclusion in your MRI report—without trying to interpret the scan itself.
Document explanation only. We do not diagnose, assess urgency or seriousness, recommend treatment, or replace a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or other qualified healthcare professional.
A clearer route through
Why can an MRI report be difficult to read?
MRI reports are usually written by a radiologist for another healthcare professional. They may describe anatomy, comparisons and observations in specialist language. We explain the written report only; we do not view or interpret the scan images.
Reason for the scan
The clinical information or question recorded at the beginning of the report.
Technique
How the scan is described, including body area, sequences or contrast wording if stated.
Findings
The observations written by the radiologist, separated into readable sections.
Impression
The conclusion, comparison and any recorded recommendation, explained without adding a diagnosis.
What you receive
Not more information. Better-organised information.
Your explanation is built around the document you upload, with the technical wording kept connected to its original section.

Questions you may want to ask
These are conversation starters, not medical advice. Your healthcare professional remains the right person to explain what the document means for you.
- What is the main conclusion of the written report?
- Was this finding expected from the reason for the scan?
- Does the report suggest any follow-up or comparison?
- Who will discuss the report with me, and when?
Clear boundaries
Understanding the letter is the first step—not the final medical answer
Clarity Companion explains documents only
We do not diagnose, interpret medical images, assess risk or urgency, verify medication or doses, recommend treatment, or make clinical decisions. Follow the advice of your healthcare team. If you feel unwell or believe you need urgent help, contact an appropriate healthcare or emergency service.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
Can you diagnose me from an MRI report?
No. We explain the wording in the written report. We do not diagnose, assess seriousness or tell you what treatment you need.
Do you look at the MRI images?
No. Clarity Companion explains the text document you upload; it does not read or interpret scan images.
Can you explain the ‘findings’ and ‘impression’ sections?
Yes. We can show where these sections differ and translate their written terminology into everyday language without changing the radiologist’s meaning.
Can you explain an MRI report from a private clinic?
Yes. We can work with NHS, private and other provider reports when the uploaded wording is readable.
What if the report worries me?
Speak with the clinician who requested the scan or another qualified healthcare professional. Use local urgent or emergency services if you think immediate help may be needed.
