A mobile medical-imaging application won approval from U.S. regulators to let doctors examine pictures from patient scans on Apple Inc.’s iPhone and iPad.

The technology, known as Mobile MIM, is the first portable-device application for common medical images cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, the agency said today in a statement. The uses are for computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography scans.
