● SECOND OPINION PROGRAM

How to Get Started with the Second Opinion Program

Send your imaging, payment and a brief symptom summary. Dr. Cho will review everything within 72 hours.

Before You Begin

You’ll create an account and upload your imaging in Intelerad’s secure ImageShare portal, then email a short summary to Dr. Cho’s office. You’ll need:

Your complete MRI, CT or CT myelogram

On the disc, USB or ZIP from your imaging center

A desktop or laptop computer

Uploading your imaging works best on a computer, not a phone

About 15 minutes

Choose How to Provide Your Imaging

Dr. Cho needs the complete DICOM imaging study provided from your imaging center.

DICOM FILE NEEDED

Why the complete DICOM study matters

DICOM files preserve the full scan series, image detail and technical information used to evaluate anatomy across every slice. A PNG, JPEG or PDF report shows only part of the exam and we cannot perform an assessment without the DICOM file.

RECOMMENDED

● UPLOAD QUESTIONS

FAQs

What files does Dr. Cho need?

The complete DICOM imaging study. A radiology report can be helpful, but it cannot replace the full scan.

What is a DICOM file?

DICOM is the standard format for medical imaging. It preserves the full scan series and technical information Dr. Cho needs.

I only see the report in MyChart. What should I do?

Contact the imaging center that performed your scan and ask for the complete DICOM study. Call our office if you need help with the request at 346-625-4300.

Can I upload images from my phone?

Usually not. Portals often provide individual images in unsupported formats. A facility-provided DICOM folder or ZIP file (commonly provided on a CD/DVD or USB drive) is required.

When does the 72-hour period begin?

It begins once we receive a complete, readable imaging study, your $95 payment and a brief description of your symptoms and surgical plan. Please email the description to info@chosenspineandneuro.com.
