Teleradiology refers to the electronic transmission of medical imaging studies like MRI, CT, X-Ray, etc., from one place to another. The system involves an image transfer section, a transmission network, and a receiving station to perform the required task.
In teleradiology, radiologists interpret medical images without being physically present in the place where the images are generated. Accordingly, many hospitals, urgent healthcare facilities, and mobile imaging companies leverage teleradiology technology. But how does teleradiology benefit medical imaging precisely? Let’s explore.
3 Ways Teleradiology Solutions Benefit Medical Imaging
Teleradiology revolves around medical imaging. But how does it enhance the area on which it pivots? Here are three ways that answer this vital question.
- Immediate Imaging Results
Unlike conventional technologies that require radiologists to wait for results, teleradiology provides instant imaging results. It helps them take up the images immediately to study and provide the necessary observations. While that’s an imaging benefit, it also refers to enhanced patient service, as it saves a lot of the patient’s time. It also enables radiologists to serve more patients during the day.
- Quick Access to Medical Images
Earlier, radiologists had to dig through multiple records to retrieve a particular image. It not only incurred time but a lot of energy and effort. Let alone the cost involved in maintaining a physical storage space to preserve all the images. And yes, not to forget scalability, which was another crucial concern!
But teleradiology resolves this concern via digital cloud storage. Since all the images and records are digitally stored in a single repository, radiologists can retrieve them instantly without churning through various documents. In addition, cloud storage helps healthcare organizations scale storage without spending as much cost and time.
- Fast and Digitized Image Transfer
Another significant advantage of teleradiology solutions is that they allow radiologists to send and receive images digitally and, thus, instantly. So, in cases that require external consulting, patients wouldn’t have to go to the doctor. Radiologists can digitally transmit images to the concerned in a matter of seconds and receive a response in the same way.
