If you have ever suffered bone fracture, tuberculosis, and other physical impairments in the internal parts of your body, you certainly know about radiology. This clinical term is a medical effort to procure the images of the internal body parts of the patients. Radiology is probably more familiar for you as well as many other patients with its common names, such as x-ray scanning, CAT (Computer Aided Tomography) or CT (Computer Tomography) scanning, or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). This imaging effort is initiated by radiologist’s scanning of patients’ body using x-ray and continued by radiologist’s reading of the scanned images and his diagnosing of patients’ physical condition by referring to those images. Recovery of certain diseases can thus be attempted using the result of that diagnosis.

In the United States, patients’ demand of radiology imaging in specific regions is often much larger than the number of available radiologists who can read the images. For that reason, teleradiology solutions are introduced so that radiology images that are produced in busy regions can be transmitted to other less-occupied regions. The available radiologists in the latter regions can then help those in the former read the images. After those images have successfully been read, the diagnosis that is made based on the reading to those images is then resent to the physicians in the busy regions so that they can attempt patients’ treatment.

Teleradiology can be accomplished if necessary infrastructure and a teleradiologist who can operate that infrastructure are available. Such infrastructure includes a transmitting station from which radiology images are sent, a network through which those images are sent, and a receiving station to which those images are sent. In addition, careful remark to the rules of such government-funded healthcare programs as Medicaid and Medicare is required in order to avoid violation and insurance revoke.
