About Analyze My Elbow
Operator
Analyze My Elbow has one owner and one operator: the independent team that builds JointLens, our umbrella product for reading your own joint imaging. We are a small software outfit, not a sports clinic, not a throwing-program vendor and not part of any hospital network. We are stating it here, in full, because you should be able to judge the source before you judge the content.
The elbow findings the AI will talk about
Load an elbow MRI, a CT, or an AP and lateral radiograph pair — individual DICOM files or a zipped folder both work — and the viewer decodes them locally so you can page through the series. When you request an explanation, the description covers what is visible in the rendered images: signal and thickness at the common extensor origin on the lateral epicondyle and the flexor-pronator origin on the medial side, the ulnar collateral ligament along its humeral and sublime tubercle attachments, the distal biceps tendon down to the radial tuberosity, fluid distending the joint, the contour of the capitellum and trochlea, fragments floating in the joint recesses, and the soft tissue around the cubital tunnel.
Where the description stops being reliable
Tendinopathy on an image is a poor predictor of how much your elbow hurts — degenerate extensor origins turn up in people with no symptoms at all. Ulnar nerve problems are diagnosed by examination and nerve conduction studies; a normal-looking cubital tunnel proves nothing, and a full or partial distal biceps tear can be misjudged when the arm was positioned straight in the scanner. Osteochondritis dissecans of the capitellum in a young thrower needs specialist follow-up regardless of any wording produced here, and radial head fractures are among the fractures most often invisible on a first radiograph.
Safety framing we do not remove
Consent comes first: the analyzer will not run until you have acknowledged a screen saying this is educational software, not a diagnostic device and not medical advice. Each result repeats that, and the Medical Disclaimer explains why a fluent paragraph can still be untrue. Locked elbow motion, visible deformity, numbness in the hand or spreading swelling after injury should be assessed in person without delay.
Local processing, no server-side study
Your DICOM or ZIP is opened by browser code on your own machine; we never receive it. Only the rendered slices you deliberately include, plus whatever context you type, are forwarded for analysis, and the server acts as a relay rather than a repository. When the answer comes back there is no residual study on our infrastructure, because the architecture has nowhere to put one. Read the Privacy Policy if you want the detail rather than the summary.
