Why is sharing medical images on CD still a problem in 2026?

CDs take 10–20 minutes to burn, get lost or scratched, and require compatible software the recipient often doesn't have. PostDICOM replaces the entire workflow with a secure link that opens in any browser.

What features does PostDICOM include for secure medical image sharing?

PostDICOM includes password-protected links, patient de-identification, folder organisation, peer account sharing, API-powered automation, and support for non-DICOM clinical documents — covering every sharing scenario from a single study to an entire patient archive.

Password-Protected Links

Generate a secure share link for any study, individual series, or report. Set a password, an expiry date, and choose whether the recipient can download the files. Recipients view images in their browser — no account required.

Patient De-identification

Remove identifying DICOM fields and proprietary private tags before or after upload. Share cases for second opinions or research while ensuring strict HIPAA/GDPR compliance.

Folder Organisation

Organise studies into folders by patient, referring physician, or case type. Share an entire folder with one link — recipients see everything inside, password-protected and expiry-controlled.

Peer Account Sharing

Search for other PostDICOM account holders and share studies directly to their library. The recipient's account receives the images automatically — no links, no downloads, no manual handover.

API-Powered Automation

Use PostDICOM's JavaScript API to programmatically create folders, generate share links, and set passwords. Automate image distribution to patients or referring physicians from your own system.

Clinical Documents

Share non-DICOM files alongside imaging studies — PDF reports, JPEG images, MP4 surgical videos, and BMP files. Everything a referring physician or patient needs, in one link.

How do I control who can access a shared DICOM link?

Each share link can be configured with a password, an expiry date, Two-Factor Authentication, series-level selection, and download permission — giving you precise control over what the recipient sees and for how long.

Select series or reports
Share only what the recipient needs. Choose specific series, individual images, or attached reports — rather than the full study. Useful for sending only the relevant scan to a specialist.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Enable 2FA for maximum security. After clicking the link and entering the password, the recipient receives a 6-digit one-time code to their email address and must enter it before viewing the study.
Expiry date
Set a date after which the share link stops working. After expiry, the recipient can no longer access the study. Retain full control over how long shared data remains accessible.
Download permission
Choose whether the recipient can download the DICOM files or only view them online. Restrict downloads for sensitive cases while still allowing viewing in the browser.
Print & hand over physically
Generate a printable page showing the share URL, password, and QR code. Print it and hand it directly to the patient at the time of their appointment — no email address needed.

How does DICOM image sharing work in PostDICOM?

Sharing takes three steps: upload your study, configure and generate a share link, then send it. The recipient clicks the link, enters the password, and the viewer opens in their browser — no additional software required.

01

Upload your studies

Upload DICOM studies directly from your browser, or connect your imaging devices to auto-send via the Medical Device Communicator. Non-DICOM files upload alongside DICOM studies.

02

Configure and generate your share link

Choose which series or reports to include, set a password, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), set an expiry date, and decide whether the recipient can download the files. PostDICOM generates a unique link instantly. Send it by email, or print the link with its QR code and hand it directly to the patient.

03

Recipient views in the browser

The recipient clicks the link, enters the password, and PostDICOM viewer opens in their browser — on compatible PCs, Macs, and tablets, with no additional software to install.

Common questions

What is PostDICOM medical image sharing?

PostDICOM medical image sharing lets clinics, hospitals, and radiology centres share DICOM studies and clinical documents with patients, referring physicians, reporters, and specialists via a secure, password-protected link. Recipients open the study in a zero-footprint HTML5 viewer in their browser — no account, no additional software, no app required.

Does the recipient need to install any software?

No. The recipient clicks the share link, enters the password you set, and the viewer opens directly in their browser — Chrome, Firefox, or Safari — on compatible PCs, Macs, and tablets. Nothing to install.

Can I share DICOM images with patients directly?

Yes. You generate a password-protected link for the study and send it to the patient by email or messaging. The patient opens their images in the browser and can view, zoom, and pan the study with the full HTML5 viewer. No PostDICOM account is required on the patient's side.

How do I share images with a referring physician?

There are two ways. You can generate a password-protected share link and send it by email — the physician opens the study in their browser immediately. Or, if the referring physician also uses PostDICOM, you can search for their account and share the study directly to their library.

Can I share only specific series rather than the entire study?

Yes. When creating a share link, you can select which series or reports to include. This means you can send only the relevant scan to a specialist — for example, sharing a single MRI series for a second opinion without exposing the full study.

Can I require Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on a share link?

Yes. When generating a share link, you can enable 2FA. After the recipient clicks the link and enters the share password, PostDICOM sends a 6-digit one-time code to their email address. They must enter this code before the study opens. This adds a second layer of verification beyond the password alone.

Can I control whether the recipient can download the files?

Yes. When setting up a share link, you can choose whether the recipient is allowed to download the DICOM files to their computer. If download is disabled, the recipient can view and interact with the study in the browser but cannot save the files locally.

Can I share a link without sending it by email?

Yes. PostDICOM lets you generate a printable page containing the share URL, the password, and a QR code. You can print this page and hand it directly to the patient at their appointment — no email address needed. The patient scans the QR code with their phone or types the URL manually.

Can I set an expiry date on shared links?

Yes. When generating a share link, you can set an optional expiry date. After that date, the link stops working and the recipient can no longer access the study. This gives you control over how long shared data remains accessible.

Is DICOM image sharing HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

PostDICOM's infrastructure is architected to support HIPAA and GDPR-compliant workflows. Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit via TLS 1.2/1.3. Share links are HTTPS-only and password-protected. Per-link Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is available for additional access control.

Can I share non-DICOM files alongside imaging studies?

Yes. PostDICOM stores and shares non-DICOM clinical files — PDF reports, JPEG and BMP images, MP4 videos — alongside DICOM studies. All files are accessible within the same shared link, giving the recipient a complete clinical picture.

What is patient de-identification and when should I use it?

De-identification securely removes or replaces identifying DICOM fields (Patient Name, Patient ID, Address, Accession Number) and strips out proprietary private tags so the case can be shared without revealing the patient's identity. Use it when sharing for second opinions, research, teaching, or legal purposes while maintaining strict HIPAA/GDPR compliance.

Can I automate share link generation for a large volume of patients?

Yes. PostDICOM provides a JavaScript API that allows you to programmatically create folders, upload studies, generate share links, and set passwords. This enables automated distribution of imaging links to patients or referring physicians directly from your own patient management system.

What happens to shared data if I cancel my subscription?

Before cancelling, download all studies and documents you wish to retain. When your subscription ends, all remaining patient data — DICOM studies, images, and reports — is permanently deleted from our systems. Your account record is retained for accounting purposes only.

Where is my imaging data stored?

When you create your PostDICOM account, you select your primary storage location from 12 independent Microsoft Azure regions: EU (Germany (Frankfurt), France (Paris)), USA (East, West, South Central), UK (London), Switzerland (Zurich), Canada (Montreal), Asia-Pacific (Singapore, Australia (Sydney), India (Pune)), and South America (Brazil(São Paulo)). Your data is hosted within your selected jurisdiction to help you meet local data residency requirements and comply with regional healthcare privacy laws (such as GDPR or HIPAA).

Can I share an entire folder rather than individual studies?

Yes. You can organise studies into folders by patient, referring physician, or case type, then generate a single password-protected link for the entire folder. The recipient accesses all studies inside the folder through one link.

Is there a free trial for the sharing features?

Yes. All plans include a 7-day free trial with full access to your selected plan's features. We use Stripe 3D Secure authentication at sign-up to verify your card — this is a 0 authorisation. You are not charged until your 7-day trial expires, and your subscription auto-renews unless cancelled. You can easily cancel any time before the trial ends
