Most hospitals will give you your films and MRI's on CD-ROM Disks. Once it is put in the drive you can send an e-mail and then add the films as an attachment. If you are going overseas for your surgery they may have different readers for the films and may not be able to open your files. That is the problem when I had MRI's done in Germany. I tried to have them read when I got home but the physician could not open the files as the reader they use is different.
