In the past, every time patients had imaging exams at the hospital, they had to take home several films, which took up a lot of space. For follow-up visits, they also had to carry a stack of films, which was inconvenient; films were often brought by mistake or lost...
“Now, with just a mobile phone, I can view my images anytime, anywhere with a few taps. If I seek care at another hospital, I can share them directly with the doctor on my phone for image review. It is truly convenient!”
Our hospital has launched the “Cloud Film Platform,” enabling patients to view cloud films and reports anytime, anywhere through the WeChat official account.
What Is Cloud Film?
Digital cloud imaging, also known as cloud film, consists of high-definition, lossless medical images. After a patient completes an imaging examination, the system automatically uploads the images to a dedicated cloud platform after secure encryption.
After the examination report is completed, patients can view and share their digital medical images anytime, anywhere via mobile phone, tablet, or computer, making referrals more convenient and supporting long-term storage.
Doctors can also view high-definition original DICOM images on mobile phones, tablets, and computers for professional image interpretation, including window width and window level adjustment, local magnification, measurement, MPR, and volume reconstruction, meeting the needs of mobile online image review.
Advantages of Cloud Film

Friendly Reminder
- The original image data files are large and require some loading time. Please wait patiently and keep your network connection stable.
- Each patient must register the correct mobile phone number when visiting the hospital; otherwise, SMS receipt may be affected. If your mobile phone number changes, please update it promptly at the hospital registration window.

The launch of the digital cloud imaging, or cloud film, platform is a new achievement by Guangzhou Huaxin Orthopedic Hospital in creating a one-stop, information-based healthcare experience for patients. Our hospital has always been committed to improving patient-centered smart healthcare services throughout the entire care process and continuously enhancing patients’ sense of benefit and well-being when seeking medical care. We believe that in the near future, our hospital will bring even more convenience and new healthcare experiences to the public.
Friendly Reminder
- The gradual replacement of “plastic film” by “cloud film” is similar to the way traditional camera film was gradually replaced by digital cameras.
- In November 2024, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued the Guidelines for the Establishment of Medical Service Pricing Items for Radiological Examinations, which stipulate that medical institutions need to provide patients with cloud imaging services instead of physical films. Patients who require physical plastic films need to purchase them separately at their own expense.
