Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, accounting for 13.5% of cancers in Indian women. Mammography is a diagnostic modality that allows early detection of breast cancer. In the setting of radiologist shortages, teleradiology is one method of ensuring that a large-scale mammography screening program is effectively supported by accurate radiologic diagnosis and made accessible to every woman whether in urban or rural locations in India. With the aim of promoting early diagnosis of breast cancer, Teleradiology Solutions, Bangalore, a teleradiology service provider collaborated with The Poornasudha Cancer Foundation, a registered non-profit organization. To learn more about the role of teleradiology in the early detection of breast cancer, read the article…

For a decade or more teleradiology has provided an eminently effective solution to the problem of radiologist shortages and burnout. However, the total number of radiologists, although well utilized, remains finite and relatively static or arithmetic in progression, yet the number of images being generated is more along the lines of geometric progression resulting in an overall mismatch, which in turn results in increased rates of radiologist fatigue and error. AI algorithms into a teleradiology workflow and practice allows for the effective leveraging of the true benefits of each in a manner that can simultaneously benefit large populations or public health initiatives.

Teleradiology and AI, going forward can be greatly synergistic in terms of their potential to achieve impact on healthcare delivery.

Purpose Communication of critical findings is a key part of radiologic service, especially in the setting of emergency teleradiology. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utilization of verbal communication of major positive findings in international emergency teleradiology. METHOD AND MATERIALS The study was conducted in an emergency teleradiology practice supporting multiple emergency rooms, over a three month period. Using a RIS-driven system, all positive results were flagged and assigned a predetermined tracking code, please click the below link….
