Teleradiology

Teleradiology is the electronic transmission of radiological images of patients such as X-Rays, CTs, and MRIs from one location to another for the purposes of interpretation/ consultation and reporting. Typically, digital images are transmitted through the Internet, over standard telephone lines, wide area network (WAN), or over a local area network (LAN) supported by Radiology Information System (RIS) software or a Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) client. Teleradiology solutions facilitate the quick and efficient transfer of images from a hospital to another part of the hospital or even to other locations around the world.

Thus Teleradiology is a specialized from of Telemedicine, using which hospitals and radiology centers can provide timely and cost-effective care for their patients. An image transmission station, the transmission network, and the receiving/ image review station are the three essential components necessary to successfully utilize such a solution.
