“Teleradiology Services”

 Concept of Teleradiology;-

                                                    For defining what "teleradiology" is, we have to look at the meaning of "radiology" first. It's a technique used by the physician to take images of the internal organs of the body for diagnostic purposes. Now if we think about the meaning of "telephone", it refers to the call services provided by different locations. Coming toward "teleradiology" it means images are forwarded to different spots. So it's a specialized form of telemedicine; teleradiology involves the transmission of radiological patient's paintings such as MRI, CT from one location to another for physician interpretation and consultation. 

                                    

                        It is the practice of images interpretation using mobile, internet, telephone lines, and the high tech computer clouds. The most PRIME APPLICATION of this technology is the availability of various consultants and sub-specialist such as neurologists, urologists, and pediatric radiologists in a single place. Technology allows the availability of trained specialists 24/7. The main scheme behind teleradiology is that it is overpriced to have a radiologist on-site.

 

                The most BASIC TOOL Use in teleradiology is graphic processing, voice recognition, and artificial intelligence. Teleradiology is a tremendously growing field of modern technology. It allows the radiologist to provide services without actually having to be at the place of patient location. It offers services in rural areas and helps to overcome the shortage of radiologists in primary and secondary care hospitals. This technology reduces the travelling cost to visit the clinics of radiologists.  

 

 Why is teleradiology helpful?

                Until this technique is limited to emergency cases but with the evolution of 4G, 5G internet, it emerges to an extension. This technology is having a significant impact on life-saving discoveries. Teleradiology Final Reports can be given on condition of emergency and non-emergency studies. Patient relevant information regarding diagnosis is an essential part of the final report to be provided. Phone calls with any analytical findings are signs of standard assistance. Final Reports can be provided for all doctors and non-medical staff for overflow studies. Teleradiology can be available for fragmentary coverage as an appendix of practices and will provide patients with the highest quality of care.

                                        

                    Teleradiology means distant reporting, i.e., radiologists can help the patient even if they are far away from where the images were initially acquired. Measuring quality aspects of teleradiology should be identical to those used for assessment of the REMOTE RADIOLOGY services. Teleradiology offers almost instantaneous reports evaluation, and this allows hospitals and clinics to provide better care. 

 

What ate the benefits of teleradiology?

                Teleradiology reduces costs by enabling radiologists to work from virtually any remote location. Teleradiology has proven to improve consultation and rural-area care by providing them with a quick and expert interpretation of medical reports. Teleradiology provides services 24/7, 365 days of coverage per year.

 

                                    

 What are the possible drawbacks of teleradiology?

 

                One of the significant DRAWBACKS of teleradiology services is that it is dependent on the internet. Whenever your internet is going to slow down, you would not be able to take advantage of this technology, and it may delay the pharmacotherapy and diagnosis action. Teleradiology demands a network specialist to maintain connections between physicians and radiologists that are sometimes not possible in rural areas. Instead of all limitations, this technology is improving the chances of global healthcare.
