Preparing for your appointment

Aurabox allows you to store your medical imaging securely, and share it with your doctors.

This page covers the basic things you need to do now you have a Profile.

Update your Profile

Your Profile is personal, identifiable contact information that is shared with doctors who have access to your imaging. Doctors may use this information to contact you, or to ensure that you are the right patient.

It is also useful information if new doctors are added to your care team, so they have basic information about you.

If you have not done so in during the account creation process, you should check and update your Profile.

If a doctor has created a Profile for you on Aurabox, it may already have some of your details set.

Prepare your imaging

Your doctor uses Aurabox so they have your medical imaging readily available during your treatment.

Before your appointment, add as much of your medical imaging to Aurabox as possible.

  • Give yourself as much time as possible
    Depending on how much imaging you have, it may take time to upload. Try to have your CDs or USBs ready to go, and allow as much time as possible to load your imaging into Aurabox.
  • Request your originals
    You may need to contact the suppliers who performed the imaging and request copies to be provided to you. In Australia, medical imaging suppliers are required to make your imaging available to you in the format you request. Some suppliers may upload into Aurabox directly.
  • Make sure you have the right files
    You will need the full DICOM imaging (on USB, CD or via download) to upload into Aurabox. Other imaging formats (e.g. JPEG or TIFF) are not usable in Aurabox, and are not standard medical imaging formats.
  • Get help
    If you are having trouble obtaining your imaging, Aurabox may be able to help. Use the chat function at the bottom of the page to get in touch.
