Teleradiology is the electronic transmission of radiological patient images, such as x-rays, CT, or MR across multiple locations. The goal could be interpretation, consultation, or medical records keeping. Information technology solutions have enabled electronic records and their associated benefits are evident in health care today. However, salient aspects of collaborative interfaces, and comp...

method has been successfully used in one study of microwave transmission and interpretation of roentgenogram^.^ Since the scanning via the television camera is not as rapid as with the human eye, random, involuntary changes in the scqn pattern which many radiologists believe they employ may be avoided. It is almost certain that a radiologist inexperienced in teleradiology can review a roentgeno...

Rapid advances in information technology and telecommunications and, more specifically, wireless and mobile CO~mUnications and their convergence (“telematics”) are leading to the emergence of a new type of information infrastructure that has the potential of supporting an array of advanced services for healthcare. The objective of this paper is to provide a snapshot of the applications of wirel...

Digitalisation of medical data makes it possible to share images and workflows between related parties. In addition to linear data flow where healthcare professionals or patients are the information carriers, a new type of matrix of many-to-many connections is emerging. Implementation of shared workflow brings challenges of interoperability and legal clarity. Sharing images or workflows can be ...

Advancements in computer technology and telecommunications have meant that all diagnostic images can now be acquired as digital signals, however the ethicolegal concepts surrounding this innovation remain unclear. In the UK there are limited practice guidelines on legal issues relating specifically to telemedicine or teleradiology. It is not yet clear whether the current law relates to telemedi...

Teleradiology has had a major impact in decreasing report turnaround time, and in improving service levels in the emergency setting. Teleradiology in the emergency setting is usually associated with a strong peer review and quality assurance process. It has generated a cadre of specialised generalists, who excel in acute care interpretation. Hence report quality is enhanced. By using the centra...

In designing complex systems, Engineers, Developers and Systems Architects always have to make quantitative assumptions in order to satisfy anticipated loads and expectations of the final product. Many questions are asked before any complex system design that relate to systems performance, infrastructure and components configuration, behavior prediction and bottlenecks fixes. All these question...
