Teleradiology refers to the electronic transmission of images that are radiological in nature from one location to another in a digital format with the help of internet for official diagnosis and consultation. The ability to obtain images in one location, transmit them over a distance and view them remotely for diagnostic or consultative purposes.
It’s about transferring radiological patient images like X-Rays, CTs and MRIs etc. with the aim of sharing your studies on reports with other radiologists or physicians. Without being present on that moment with the patient, Teleradiology helps to improve a patient’s condition by allowing radiologists to provide required services. Its services provided are like:-
Services of Teleradiology:-
Image Processing- This is processing of images using various types of filters and applies signal processing techniques to images just to filter them in more concise manner. It is used in medical field and various other fields also nowadays using computer graphics and other graphical effects too.
Reports- Various types of reports are used in teleradiology made to communicate with various physicians and radiologists.Reports are made in the medical field such as MRI Reports, CT Scan Reports etc. that are sometimes sent to another physician to discuss patient’s condition properly. Preliminary Reports are used for emergency cases.
Telemedicine- Its a service primarily used to provide health related services at distant places like rural areas with the help of telecommunication and radiological technology. For example, many complications and emergency cases arrive daily in almost one-fifth of rural areas so it's quite helpful in that cases.
X-Ray- Its a form of electromagnetic radiation used in the medical field basically to utilize manpower and help patients in more effective way. Among Hard and Soft X-Rays, Hard X-Rays are used to show the inside of the patient’s problem which includes in medical radiology basically.
CT Scan- Known as Computerized Tomography Scan uses the combination of many X-Rays images taken to give cross-sectional tomographic images of particular areas of the affected part of a body of the patient. Its advantage is that the suffering patient can inside the part without having any cut on it to see it.
MRI- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is also an image producing technique uses radiology to investigate the inside of the body in a case of disease or anything and basically scans the body using its unique scanning technique.
Conclusion- Teleradiology is a concept helps in building various relationships through its unique services, So avail its services and take care!
