Increased Need for Teleradiology Services
According to the American College of Radiology (ACR) and and the Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA), the shortage of radiologists will continue well into the new millennium. The practice of radiology as we know it is changing to meet this critical shortage. The technology exists for the rapid transmission and interpretation of diagnostic medical images sent to us world wide.
This technology is known as teleradiology or telemedicine. Teleradiology allows medical imaging interpretations via telecommunications link.
Courier service is provided for immediate movement of patient examinations to our facility for interpretation. This can be done while a telecommunications link is established to your location.
