Second opinion on your MRI or CT
An independent written read by a second radiologist, plus a plain-English walkthrough of what the report means and what to do next. 24–72 hours, on Telegram or by email.

I read MRI and CT for a living. I'm also writing software so the next radiologist has it a little easier.
Seventeen years in practice. Tens of thousands of studies. Clinics in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. And a graduate program in machine learning, because waiting for the future to show up got old.

I'm a board-certified radiologist. Seventeen years reading MRI and CT. Trained in Ukraine, working for clinics in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa. Tens of thousands of studies signed off.
Before the full-scale war I ran the X-ray diagnostic department at Odrex in Odesa. In 2022 I went where I was needed: I'd been teaching tactical medicine since 2015, so the army had a list of things for me to do. I returned to civilian radiology practice in 2024.
Today I'm fully remote — reading for a number of clinics across Ukraine. Separately, I run a second-opinion practice: for people holding a disc with their study in one hand and a report full of unfamiliar terms in the other.
Three doors into the same reading room.
RadVoice — voice-driven structured reports
A tool I'm building so radiologists can dictate and the structure writes itself. Beta — Ukrainian and English.

AI in imaging, second-opinion as a service, the reality of practising radiology in a country at war. A separate topic — keeping a radiology department operational under the threat of long-range drones and ballistic strikes deep behind the front line. We've been through it, and I'm ready to pass that experience on.

I'm doing a second degree right now — a European master's in Computer Science, specialising in AI / Machine Learning. The next decade of radiology will be shaped by people who can write code. I'd rather be one of them than one of the people waiting.
Start at the pain point
Any decent product begins with a clearly defined problem. And only the person who feels that pain at their own desk can define it properly. Everything I build starts there — from a real, daily friction in my own practice.
Voice → structured report
Whisper-grade transcription of Ukrainian radiology dictation, mapped to RSNA-style structured templates. The current MVP already shows it works, saves time, and lifts cognitive load off the radiologist.
Second opinion as a service
Offering a second opinion as a service requires deep domain expertise — you can't just put it on the menu after two years on the job. For me the idea matured around year fifteen of practice. SecondRead is my view of how to do it well — accurately, quickly, and comfortably for the patient.
Contribution to Ukrainian healthcare
Behind everything I do — the work, the studies, the tooling — sits one simple intent: to give something back to the Ukrainian healthcare system. By helping, by teaching, and by learning from the best.
Radiology is, above all, a job of working with data. Software is just a tool — and it's finally catching up to what the field actually needs.
Quotes from coverage.
“Dr. Oleksandr Berezovskyi — head of the medical service for his unit, in charge of medical and tactical evacuation of troops. Before the war, head of radiology at Odrex Medical Center in Odesa.”
“Has been teaching tactical medicine since 2015 — splits his time roughly half on radiology, half on training combat medics and doctors in the Ukrainian army.”
When the worklist is empty.
We live with our family in Ukraine, in Odesa. My best ideas show up out in the Odesa steppe — walking the dogs and not thinking about reports.
