Telemedicine goes the distance.
Telemedicine is advancing rapidly, and with it the diagnostic and treatment possibilities. X-ray and MRI images, tissue specimens and medical record data are being transmitted between distant cities even now. For rural hospitals, this means having around-the-clock access to radiology expertise--without having to compensate a full-time radiologist. And for off-site clinics, it means fewer trips out to have an image interpreted.
