What is Teleradiology?
Teleradiology is the process of
transmitting and receiving digital radiology images
from one point to another through a secure digital
network. The transmission of images is performed
using advanced computer systems, typically over
standard telephone lines, wide area network (WAN),
or over a local area network (LAN). Through teleradiology,
images can be sent to another part of the hospital,
or anywhere in the world.
Teleradiology is a means of electronically transmitting radiographic patient images and consultative text from one location to another.
A basic teleradiology system consists of three major components:
1. An image sending station
2. A transmission network
3. A receiving/image review station.
All these components of our network are interconnected with each other via a secure network.
What is DICOM?
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications
in Medicine) is a standard that is the framework
for medical-imaging communication.
