DicomTube is designed for educational and professional discussion purposes. Users are responsible for ensuring that any medical imaging data uploaded to our platform is properly de-identified in accordance with applicable regulations, including HIPAA where applicable. We strongly recommend removing all patient identifying information before uploading any medical imaging studies.
Our platform is not intended to be used as a primary diagnostic tool or for direct patient care. All medical cases should be discussed for educational and professional development purposes only.
The security of your information is important to us, particularly given the sensitive nature of medical imaging data. We use reasonable security measures including encryption, secure authentication through established social login providers, and limited access controls to prevent the loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration of your information under our control.
All data transmission is encrypted using industry-standard TLS/SSL protocols. Medical imaging data is stored securely on Cloudflare's infrastructure with appropriate access controls.
However, given the inherent risks, we cannot guarantee absolute security and consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Your data is stored on Cloudflare's global infrastructure, with data processing occurring at Cloudflare edge locations worldwide for optimal performance and security.
We will retain your personal information with us for as long as required by law and for valid reasons (such as legal compliance, accounting/reporting requirements) or for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
Medical imaging studies and case discussions may be retained for educational purposes unless you request deletion. We may need to retain certain information for longer periods such as for record-keeping/reporting in accordance with applicable law or for other legitimate reasons like enforcement of legal rights, fraud prevention, etc.
Residual anonymous information and aggregate information, neither of which identifies you (directly or indirectly), may be stored indefinitely.
