Teleradiology and its feasibility in Nepal

Published On: April 5, 2018 08:45 AM NPT By: Chetan Nepal

Teleradiology has been proposed as a way to make radiological services available in rural areas especially where the radiologists are separated from the major population. It involves the electronic transmission of non-invasive radiographic images such as digitized X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography images (CT scan), and magnetic resonance images (MRI), nuclear medicine as well as consultative text from one geographical location to another for the purpose of interpretation, consultation, diagnosis, and treatment.
