Teleradiology.
Abstract
According to the American College of Radiology, teleradiology is an electronic transmission of radiological images from one location to another for the purposes of interpretation or consultation. This article provides a historical perspective and discusses both solved and unsolved problems concerning the different elements of a teleradiology system (image acquisition, image transmission, image display, image compression). It concludes that teleradiology will in the future be a part of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS). Technical problems have for the most part been solved, with the exception of quality of gray-scale monitors. The characteristics of such a system depends on its goals.
