Teleradiology - Why?Teleradiology - Why?In some area there is a lack of radiologists.

Sometime it could be financially accurate to have only one radiologist on duty for several radiological facilities.

Eg: A contract with TeleRadiology Service Provider Company(Our Company) with any Hospital or Diasnostic center in India or even at International Levels - Daytime Reporting or Night Hawks.

Access to specialized expertise.

Medical Imaging Network

Each hospital department will have its own network with nodal point in the main hospital.

All four networks will be federated on Main Server.

Main server will be able to:Give access to images in the DMZ,Import images in the local PACS,Send images to the right specialist “on duty” home or Our center for reporting.
