How to send your CT or MRI

Put the complete study into one ZIP archive. If the file is large, upload it to a file-sharing service and send the professor a download link. Follow the steps below.

What do you have?

01

Copy the entire disc

Create a folder on your computer and name it using the patient’s surname, first name and patronymic in Ukrainian. Use this format: Прізвище Ім’я По батькові, replacing these words with the patient’s details. Open the disc in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac), select every folder and file, and copy them into this folder. Wait until copying finishes.

Keep the folder structure and every image series. You do not need to select the “best” image or run the viewing software supplied on the disc.

A screenshot or the report alone does not replace the complete study. You can attach the report separately.

02

Create one ZIP archive

Choose your operating system. Compress the folder named after the patient that contains the entire disc.

Right-click the folder → Show more options (if shown) → Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

A ZIP file appears beside the folder. Keep the same patient’s full name in Ukrainian in its filename: Прізвище Ім’я По батькові.zip. Wait for compression to finish. Open the ZIP and check that it contains the copied folders and files. Keep your original disc.

03

Send a download link for a large archive

CT / MRI archives are often too large to attach to an email or message. Upload the ZIP to a file-sharing or cloud storage service, then send the professor its download link with the patient’s full name. A small archive can be attached directly.

If the imaging centre has already provided a link, you do not need to upload the archive again. Check access and the link’s expiry date. Go to the contact addresses →

Include the patient’s full name

Provide the patient’s surname, first name and patronymic, if applicable. If you also use Telegram, give the same name there and state which email address you sent the study from. This lets the professor match your email to your message.

Email subject: CT/MRI — [patient’s full name]

Replace the text in square brackets with your own details before sending.

A message you can copy

No computer, no disc drive, or need help creating the archive?

Ask the administrator at the centre where you had the CT or MRI to send the complete study archive or a download link to the professor. Give them the exact email address and ask them to include the patient’s full name. Tell the professor whose study they will receive.

Privacy

This website has no form for uploading scans. You can send the professor an archive or a link through a private Telegram conversation or by email. An email link opens your email application.

Send records to the professor in a private conversation or to one of the listed email addresses. If you are contacting us for someone else, make sure you have their consent or appropriate authority.

Only Professor Iakiv Fishchenko has access to the scans and correspondence you send.

Scans, correspondence and other medical information sent by the patient are retained for long-term patient care and future consultations.

Website analytics

With your separate consent, this website uses Google Analytics to measure page views and clicks on phone, Telegram and email links. The service does not load before consent. Google receives technical browser data, page addresses without additional parameters and the click category. We do not send names, scans, correspondence or message contents to analytics. Advertising personalisation is disabled. Analytics cookies and your consent choice are stored for up to 180 days. You can change your choice or withdraw consent using “Analytics settings” at the bottom of the page; this stops further collection and removes analytics cookies in this browser.
