What is Teleradiology?
Teleradiology is the process of transmitting and receiving digital
radiology images from one point to another through a secure digital
network. The transmission of images is performed using advanced computer
systems, typically over internet. Through teleradiology, images can be
sent to another part of the hospital, or anywhere in the world.
Teleradiology is a means of electronically transmitting radiographic
patient images and consultative text from one location to another.
A basic teleradiology system consists of three major components:
1. An image sending station
2. A transmission network
3. A receiving/image review station.
All these components of our network are interconnected with each other
via a secure network. |
