 Teleradiology

Definition: Teleradiology is the practice of electronically transmitting radiological patient images (such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and Ultrasound studies) from the location where they were acquired to a remote site for interpretation and reporting by a specialist physician (a radiologist).

Technological Foundation and Workflow:

1. Image Acquisition: A technologist captures the diagnostic image at the clinical facility (hospital, clinic).

2. Digital Standardization: The images are stored in a universal format called DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine), which ensures they can be viewed consistently across different systems.
