Teleradiology AT A GLANCE

A LOOK INTO TELERADIOLOGY, THE PROCESS AND IMPLEMENTATION AT SNIPER SOLUTIONS.

The transfer of radiological images from one location to another for the purpose of interpretation by radiologists is termed Teleradiology. These include all patient non-invasive images such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs etc. It is a part of telemedicine and like all remote operations, telecommunication systems are used to transfer all radiological images to consultants who can do the interpretations at a remote location different from the place of image creation.


Teleradiology, at present, has seen a marked increase globally, primarily due to a dearth in the availability of well-qualified radiologists, especially in emergencies which necessitates an immediate need for image interpretation. Due to a lack of sufficient in-house consultants, radiological consulting or teleradiological service provision has seen tremendous growth and countries like US, UK, Australia & others outsource the work to other countries with large number of radiologists like India.

Virtual Medical Scribe

IMPORTANCE OF STORAGE IN TELERADIOLOGY

As can be assumed, storage plays a vital role in handling the humongous amount of images that need to be transmitted back and forth. It relies on high-quality servers with the ability to store and process large data at a high resolution with colour accuracy.

Cloud storage-Teleradiology primarily runs on cloud storage as the main source of storage due to the number of advantages it offers like considerable cost reduction, the ability to store huge amounts of large images, easy access, storage space can be increased when needed etc.

eRAD PACS Evolution is a state-of-the-art solution for flexible image and workflow management. Web-based, distributed reading to drive performance in today’s healthcare enterprise.

Servers on-site - Teleradiology continues to utilize on-site servers too, though it has a limited storage capacity.
