Frequently asked questions
Does the PDF preserve DICOM metadata?+
Key metadata fields (patient name, study date, modality) can be rendered as text alongside the image in the PDF output.
Can I convert multi-frame DICOM files?+
Multi-frame DICOM files (e.g., CT series) produce a multi-page PDF with one frame per page.
Is this compliant with clinical data sharing regulations?+
The tool processes data locally in the browser. Clinical data sharing compliance (HIPAA, GDPR) depends on your organisational policies — consult your information governance team.
Privacy first
All PDF processing runs locally in your browser using PDF-lib and pdf.js. No file is ever uploaded — only metadata counters are saved for signed-in dashboard stats.
