Real-time radiology--new concepts for teleradiology.
We propose two new concepts for teleradiology: 'real-time radiology' and 'seamless operation of a workstation to view images from both local and remote hospitals'. In this paper, we describe an experimental real-time radiology system with a new multimedia diagnostic workstation, which has been established under teleradiology concepts and can be used for cooperative diagnosis by interchanging radiographic images bilaterally in real-time during an audio-visual discussion. The clinical evaluation of real-time radiology using a newly developed diagnostic workstation demonstrated the system to be practical and routinely available to enhance the radiological diagnostic quality of teleradiology.
