The amount of advancement the world has seen in technology for smart phones in the past decade has been nothing but amazing and spectacular; it has gone from regular usage for making calls and sending messages to now being able to view your MRI results on your iPhone or iPad.
According to their website, "MIM Software Inc. provides practical imaging solutions for radiologists and oncologists. Our initial product offering has become the leading third party PET/CT software package. Subsequently, we have developed industry-leading software in the fields of Radiology/Nuclear Medicine, Neuroimaging, Cardiac Imaging, and Radiation Oncology.

This program can be used by both doctor's and patients, and the idea behind it quite interesting. For starters, there is a specific version used by doctor's and physicans and another version for patient use. Both programs are free of charge and can be downloaded from the Application Store on Apple products. The way it works is that the doctor sends the results of a patients exam to a server hosted by MIM for a fee of $1. Then, if the patient wants to view the results, they are able to using the same server and would be charged $1 on their iPhone's and $2 on their iPad's.
