Beskriv frit den medicinske situation, du ønsker hjælp til.

Du kan være så kort eller udførlig, som du har behov for.

• Ved længere beskrivelser anbefaler vi, at du skriver dit resumé i et separat dokument og vedhæfter det sammen med dine andre materialer (se #3 for detaljer).

Vi kan selvfølgelig gennemgå de kliniske noter, du sender ind.

Men en førstehånds, detaljeret beskrivelse fra dig eller en pårørende er ofte den allerbedste kilde til information.

• Medicinske noter bliver ofte kopieret og sammenfattet over flere konsultationer, hvilket kan betyde, at vigtige detaljer går tabt.
• Dette sker ofte for at gøre det kortfattet eller for at tilpasse en unik patienthistorie til et mere standardiseret klinisk sprog.

Din personlige beskrivelse hjælper med at bevare sammenhængen, nuancerne og det, der virkelig er vigtigt for dig.

Vi kan godt arbejde på din sag, selvom du ikke indsender konkrete spørgsmål.

Det er dog afgørende, at vi får besvaret alle de spørgsmål, der er vigtige for dig, og at vi forstår, hvad du ønsker at opnå. Patienter med samme diagnose kan nemlig have vidt forskellige mål og prioriteter.

• Derfor er det mest hensigtsmæssigt, hvis du giver os en fuldstændig liste over de spørgsmål, du ønsker svar på.
• Du er også velkommen til at tilføje korte forklaringer eller baggrundsoplysninger, hvis du mener, det vil hjælpe os med at forstå konteksten bedre.

We work with clients from around the world and have learned not to dictate the scope, format, or method of data transfer.

Transferring Medical Reports

You are free to share your documents in whatever way works best for you.

• You may send us documents in any language—translation is not required.
  
• You may edit or remove any personally identifiable information. We only need an approximate age and gender to create a clinical case for expert review.
  

We recommend gathering as many relevant documents as possible. These typically include:

• Visit summaries
• Consultation notes
• Hospital discharge summaries
• Laboratory test results
• Medical imaging reports (CT, MRI, PET)
• Reports from other diagnostic tests (e.g., angiography, ultrasound, EEG, EMG, Holter monitoring)

Please scan your documents in high quality and save them in PDF format.

• If scanning is not possible, take clear photos and convert them to PDF files.
• Avoid handwritten notes whenever possible, as they are often difficult to interpret.

Once you have gathered and scanned all your documents, place them in a single folder, upload it to a file transfer service of your choice, and send us a download link.

You can use this secure, Switzerland-based service: https://send.tresorit.com/

Once we confirm we have downloaded your files, you can (and should) delete them from the file-sharing service.

Transferring Medical Imaging Studies

In many cases, our experts will need to review your actual medical imaging studies (e.g., MRI, CT, PET-CT, angiography). These are typically provided to you:

• On a CD/DVD
  
• As a download link in the original DICOM format

Please follow these steps:

1. If you have a CD, transfer the entire contents of the disc to a single folder on your computer.
   
   One study = one folder.
   
   Do not mix multiple studies in the same folder.
   
2. If you receive a download link, save the study in its own separate folder on your device.
   
3. You may compress (zip) the folder before uploading it to a file transfer service.
   

If you prefer to anonymize your medical imaging studies, you can do it yourself (or ask a trusted IT professional for help) using the free desktop image viewer HOROS.

• Simply import the imaging study into HOROS, then click the "Anonymize" button. This will save an anonymized version of the study on your computer, which you can then send to us.

Send us the download link for each medical imaging study.

Again, one folder = one study = one download link.

Please also upload the written report for each imaging study along with your other medical documents.

If you have questions or encounter problems collecting the information, please email clients at diagnosticdetectives (.) com
