Department of Tele Radiology

Tele Radiology is actually one of the earliest fields of telemedicine, beginning in the 1960s. Tele Radiology solutions were developed to expand access to diagnosticians of x-rays. Smaller hospitals around the U.S. may not always have a radiologist on staff, or may not have access to one around the clock. That means patients coming into the ER, especially during off-hours, will have to wait for diagnosis. Tele Radiology solutions now offer providers at one location to send a patient's x-rays and records securely to a qualified radiologist at another location, and get a quick consult on the patient's condition.
