The Consultation Process

From Scan to Clarity — Without Leaving Home

Four steps. No waiting rooms. No referral required.

01
Step 01

Upload Your Scan

Use our HIPAA-encrypted portal to upload your MRI, CT, or imaging report — along with a brief clinical summary.

Accepted formats: DICOM, JPEG, PDF. No account required to begin. Encryption is end-to-end from your device.

02
Step 02

Expert Review Begins

Your scan reaches a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon within the hour. She reads the full imaging series — not a summary, not a delegate.

Average review time: 14 hours. Expedited pathway available for urgent cases within 4 hours.

03
Step 03

Your Video Assessment

A private, unhurried video call — she walks through exactly what she sees, what it means, and what she recommends.

Average call duration: 28 minutes. A written summary with imaging annotations is provided within 24 hours.

04
Step 04

Your Care Pathway

You receive a written report, annotated imaging, and a clear recommendation — whether that's monitoring, surgery, or a different specialist.

Reports are formatted for your referring physician and accepted by most major insurance carriers for pre-authorization.

Who Cortex Serves

Expertise That Travels

For Patients
"I had a scan. My local doctor said it needed a specialist. I had no idea how to find one — or how to afford the trip."
  • Brain tumor evaluation and grading
  • Spinal cord condition assessment
  • Vascular malformation review
  • Nerve and peripheral concerns
  • Post-surgical follow-up

You're 3 Hours from the Nearest Neurologist. That Distance Shouldn't Define Your Care.

Whether you've just received a diagnosis or been living with uncertainty for months, you deserve a subspecialist's eyes on your imaging — not a general neurologist's reassurance, not a Google result, not a 4-month wait for an appointment.

For Families
"My husband's neurologist said wait-and-watch. I needed someone to tell me if that was right. I needed certainty."
  • Second opinion on existing diagnosis
  • Interpretation of confusing radiology reports
  • Pre-surgical question preparation
  • Understanding treatment options
  • Guidance on next clinical steps

You're Searching at 2 AM. You Deserve a Real Answer Before Morning.

The midnight spiral of medical searches is a special kind of terror. Cortex gives worried spouses, adult children, and caregivers a structured path to an actual expert — one who will read the scan, look at the whole picture, and speak plainly.

For Referring Physicians
"I had a patient with an incidental finding on imaging. I needed a neurosurgeon's read before I could reassure the family."
  • Rapid pre-operative neurosurgical clearance
  • Complex imaging interpretation
  • Subspecialty second opinion for documentation
  • Report formatted for insurance pre-auth
  • Direct physician-to-physician call available

Your Patient Needs Subspecialist Eyes Before Monday. We Can Have a Report Ready.

Community hospital physicians and general neurologists use Cortex as a rapid subspecialty consult service — structured reports formatted for your chart, imaging annotations, and direct communication when the case warrants it.
