Mark, I understand your wanting to keep business talk off the forum, and I respect that.

My question though, is not specific to your services, but in general. I know that people get their films (from MRI, x-ray, etc) copied onto disc, so they can take them to other doctors, or just to have for their own records. And the question is, is there a digital format that I should ask for, or is it standard? Images can be converted to different digital formats, and some can only be viewed with proprietary software. Or I should say that some software can only use a specific format.

But don't worry about the answer, I'm sure I will find out when I ask the doctor for copies of the images. I just prefer to know what I am asking, particularly if the person I am asking might be unsure what I am asking for. That way I can be specific.
