Telephone transfer of nuclear cardiology studies.
Data of nuclear cardiology studies are acquired on a computer and transmitted by telephone from a community hospital to a computer at a teaching hospital for analysis. Interpretations of the studies are dictated into a RTAS radiology reporting system. The referring physician and transcriptionists from the sending hospital may hear the interpretations by calling into RTAS on the same day as the studies were performed.
