May 18, 2026 — DICO, a company specializing in the creation of distributed diagnostic infrastructure for radiology, has launched a program offering free access to its radiology anatomy platform, Atlas X-ray, for universities, student groups and clinical teams worldwide.
Atlas was originally developed for internal use within DICO’s network of 51 diagnostic clinics in three countries, which operate across several countries and process large volumes of CT and MRI data on a daily basis. It was conceived as a practical tool to help radiologists and trainees work directly with real imaging data and hone their interpretation skills in real clinical settings.
As interest in the product grew, including inquiries from leading university radiology departments, DICO decided to make Atlas more widely available as part of its contribution to supporting the global radiology community.
This initiative comes at a time when radiology departments worldwide are under increasing pressure. Demand for medical imaging continues to rise, whilst the supply of specialists is struggling to keep pace.
In such circumstances, the need for practical and accessible training tools becomes crucial. Many radiologists learn key skills, such as image interpretation, under time pressure and without structured resources tailored to real-world clinical workflows.
Atlas X-ray addresses this issue by allowing users to study anatomy directly on real X-ray images, helping to bridge the gap between theoretical education and diagnostic practice. The platform is used by both students learning basic skills and practicing doctors looking to refine their professional skills.
“We originally created Atlas for ourselves, as a tool to support radiologists working with real cases on a daily basis,” says Yaroslav Dokuchaev, CEO and founder of DICO. “When universities and clinical teams began requesting access, it became clear that this was not just an internal need. Providing free access is our way of supporting the radiology community at a time of growing demand and limited resources.”
Although individual subscriptions to Atlas X-ray are still available, DICO emphasizes that prices are set to cover operational costs and remain significantly lower than those of similar solutions on the market.
How to Access
Universities, student groups, and radiology teams can request free access by submitting a list of users (names and email addresses) to the DICO team. Requests can be sent to: [email protected]
