X-Ray Scanning

X-Ray Scanning

Digitize and protect your critical x-ray and industrial imaging with Iron Mountain's X-Ray Scanning service. Designed for medical and industrial applications, this secure, standards-based solution preserves film-based assets and makes them instantly accessible in digital DICOM or DICONDE formats.

The challenge

In industries like healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing, and energy, x-ray and industrial film imaging have long served as the foundation of diagnostics, inspection, and compliance. But over time, physical media becomes a risk—vulnerable to decay, damage, and increasingly harder to access. The result? Critical data stuck in analog formats, inaccessible when you need it most, and overlooked from today’s increasingly digital workflows.

The impact

When vital x-rays and non-destructive testing (NDT) films are left unmanaged or stored in outdated formats, organizations face more than just storage headaches—they risk data loss, compliance violations, and operational delays. Whether it’s a missing radiograph needed for a medical case or incomplete inspection records for an industrial audit, the inability to securely access high-quality imaging data can jeopardize safety, business continuity, and trust.

What if you could...

  • Instantly access your x-rays and radiographs in secure, industry-standard DICOM or DICONDE formats?
  • Preserve imaging quality while eliminating the risk of lost, degraded, or inaccessible film?
  • Integrate imaging data seamlessly into your clinical, inspection, or archival workflows without disrupting operations?
