How to Find Your Radiology Report

Most radiology reports are available in your patient portal within 24–72 hours of your exam. Select your portal below for step-by-step instructions.

MyChart by Epic

Used by: Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, Johns Hopkins, NYU Langone, Mass General, UCSF, and hundreds more.

Most Common
  1. 1
    Go to your health system's MyChart website and sign in with your username and password.
  2. 2
    In the top navigation, click Menu or look for the Health section in the left sidebar.
  3. 3
    Select Test Results. Imaging results may be listed here alongside lab work.
  4. 4
    Alternatively, navigate to Health → Document Center → Visit Notes & Letters to find the full radiology report as a separate document.
  5. 5
    Click on the result you want. The report text will appear — select all the text (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A in the text area), copy it, and paste it into RadDecoder.
Tip: If you don't see your imaging result yet, it may still be pending radiologist sign-off. Most reports are released within 24–72 hours of your exam. Some health systems release results immediately; others wait for your provider to review them first.

    Open the MyChart app on your phone and sign in.
  2. 2
    Tap the Menu icon (☰) in the top corner, then select Health.
  3. 3

  5. 5
    To copy on mobile: press and hold on the report text until the text selection handles appear, then drag to select all the text. Tap Copy, then return to RadDecoder and tap Paste from Clipboard.
Note: Some MyChart apps display imaging reports as PDFs rather than plain text. If you see a PDF viewer, use your phone's share or print function to view the text, or access the portal through a web browser instead for easier copying.

FollowMyHealth

Used by: Allscripts/Veradigm health systems, many community hospitals, physician practices, and specialty clinics across the US.

Oracle Health (Cerner)

Used by: Ascension Health, CommonSpirit, Intermountain Health, Children's Hospital networks, many VA facilities, and large regional health systems.

Common
  1. 1
    Sign in to your health system's patient portal. Oracle Health portals are often branded under the health system's own name (e.g., "MyAscension," "MyCare") rather than the Cerner/Oracle name.

  3. 3
    Select Lab & Test Results or Diagnostic Reports. Radiology results are typically listed here.
  4. 4

  5. 5
    Select all the report text, copy it, and paste it into RadDecoder.
Note: Oracle Health (formerly Cerner) portals vary significantly in appearance and navigation depending on how each health system has customized them. If you can't find your results under "Lab & Test Results," try looking under Documents, Visit Summary, or After Visit Summary.
  1. 1
    Open your health system's patient portal app. Oracle Health/Cerner-powered apps are usually branded under the health system's name.

Tips for Copying Your Report

Desktop — Select All

Click anywhere in the report text area, then press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Cmd+A (Mac) to select everything, then Ctrl+C / Cmd+C to copy.

Desktop — Print to PDF

If the report is hard to select, use your browser's Print function (Ctrl+P) and choose "Save as PDF." Open the PDF, select all text, and copy.

Mobile — Text Selection

Press and hold on the text until handles appear. Drag the handles to cover the full report. Tap Copy, then use Paste from Clipboard in RadDecoder.

What to Include

Copy everything — header, clinical indication, technique, findings, and impression. RadDecoder uses the full report for the best explanation. Personal info is automatically removed before processing.

Don't see your portal listed?

Your health system may use a different portal or a custom-branded version of one of the above. In general, look for sections labeled Test Results, Diagnostic Reports, Imaging, or Documents after signing in. If you're unable to find your report online, contact your health system's medical records department or call the radiology department directly — you are entitled to a copy of your records.
