Teleradiology: Then and Now

In 2018 there are approximately 34,000 radiologists in United States. This number has significantly grown from 27,906 radiologists in 1995. Radiology is now a favored medical profession and is one of the highest paying in the industry. During the course of 22 years radiology has also taken a huge turn in the way the reports are created and provided.

Currently, a large portion of studies are read via teleradiology. Teleradiology is the transmission of radiological images via a secure virtual private network (VPN) from the medical facility (imaging center, hospital, mobile clinic, urgent care center, etc.) to our server. From the server, the images are accessed via our PACS and American Board Certified radiologists read the studies. The reports are then delivered electronically to our client facilities.

In the 1990s it was typical for radiologists in a particular imaging center or hospital to report for only one location. Now, with the help of teleradiology, radiologists can be at a hospital office or their home office and report for multiple centers. Each radiologist has been able to increase their reading efficiency and volume significantly, which helps to keep radiologist compensation high in the midst of falling reimbursements.

Between 2005 and 2010 we saw the teleradiology market starting to mature and consolidate, with many teleradiology companies acquiring others. Now, in 2018, the industry is mature and saturated with numerous teleradiology groups, large and small, vying for new opportunities to read. As competition has increased the fee per study has significantly dropped, creating a great environment for imaging facilities to grow their business. Imaging facilities know that there are many teleradiology providers in the market, which allows them to be very selective about the provider they choose to work with. Advanced Telemed Services has the advantage of being able to offer the reading service, bundled with the PACS, fast turnaround times, excellent support, and easy physician access. We have been in teleradiology for over a decade and have a proven record of great service.

Teleradiology: Then and Now

There are approximately 38,000 radiologists in United States of America in 2017. This has significantly grown from 27,906 radiologists in 1995. This is significant rise in the last 12 years. Radiology is favored medical profession and is one of the highest paying. During the course of 12 year radiology has taken a huge turn in the way the medical profession provides their reports.

Currently, all or most of the studies are read via teleradiology. Teleradiology is the transmission of radiological images via a secure virtual private network (VPN) from the imaging center, hospital, mobile clinics, urgent care to our server. From the server, the images are accessed via our PACS and the American Board Certified radiologists read the studies.

In the 1990s, we saw radiologists in a particular imaging center or hospital reporting only for one location. Now with the help of teleradiology, the radiologists can be at a hospital or home and can report for multiple centers. Each radiologist has increased their volume significantly and thereby able to increase their revenues significantly as well.

In late 2000s, we saw the teleradiology market becoming mature and there were many companies that acquired each other. In 2018, we are seeing so much competition where there are more radiologists available and less studies. The fee per study has also significantly reduced as the rates are very competitive. Clients know that there are so many teleradiology companies in the market and get any of their choice. The selling point is where we offer the service with bundled pricing with the PACS, storage and the teleradiology service.

The use of teleradiology in war zones dates back to the wars of Afghanistan and Iraq.1 However, the practice of teleradiology during the Syrian crisis presents a new challenge to the international medical community given the repeated attacks on medical personnel and health-care facilities.2, 3, 4, 5

The Teleradiology Relief Group consists of several radiologists located across the globe, who communicate with health-care providers in Syria via the internet and social media to deliver the best care possible to Syrian patients. Use of a traditional teleradiology programme is not possible in Syria because of the absence of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), even before the crisis. Instead, social media is used to share digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images and other image formats. Image uploading is often not possible because of the unreliable and interrupted internet service that mainly depends on satellite providers. Emails and social-media applications such as WhatsApp (WhatsApp, Mountain View, CA, USA) and Facebook (Facebook, Menlo Park, CA, USA) facilitate instant sharing of important images, including screen shots, analogue films captured on mobile phones (appendix), and video recordings of ultrasonography.

There are several limitations to this practice. Sometimes, the quality of images is not sufficient for interpretation because of poor techniques and the lack of contrast. However, radiologists have to extract every possible piece of information from the provided images to generate reports that guide physicians on the ground. We find ultrasound images the most difficult to interpret, particularly when done by non-trained operators.
