How to Access Military Radiology Reports and Images

Where to view radiology reports and how to request the underlying diagnostic image files.

Last reviewed September 16, 2026 · Confirm time-sensitive details with the official program.

Reports and image files are different

The MHS GENESIS Patient Portal lets registered users view and download radiology reports associated with care at military hospitals and clinics. The underlying diagnostic image files—such as X-rays, CTs, MRIs, ultrasounds, or mammograms—may require a separate request through the treating facility’s Release of Information office or radiology/PACS team.

If you need the written report

  1. Sign in to the official MHS GENESIS Patient Portal.
  2. Open the health-record area.
  3. Look for radiology or pathology results under clinical reports.
  4. Download the report if that option is available.

Results may appear before the care team has discussed them with you. Contact the treating clinician for interpretation; TRICARE.com does not interpret imaging or reports.

If you need the actual images

Contact the military hospital or clinic where the study was performed and ask for its current medical-records or imaging-release process. Requirements vary by facility. The facility may require identity verification and an authorization form such as DD Form 2870, and may provide a secure link or transfer images through the DoD imaging environment.

Do not upload radiology reports or image files to TRICARE.com.
