ABSTRACT
Teleradiology involves much more than merely transmitting images and information between two points teleradiology consists of sharing knowledge and working together in a network. It facilitates rapid access to radiological reports and second opinions, remote consulting among physicians, improved patient care, access to complex tools for postprocessing and computer-aided diagnosis, support for research and training projects, ties between isolated healthcare providers and busier or more experienced providers, 24-hour coverage, and competition among radiology departments. A close relation with the radiologist leads to better care. However, teleradiology should not have negative effects on the efficacy of the clinical radiology service that is closest to the patient. This article focuses on the legal requirements of teleradiology services and on the clinical problems that can arise in teleradiology settings, with the ultimate aim of ensuring the appropriate use of teleradiology to improve healthcare.
