Teleradiology Joël Chabriais, MD, MS Teleradiology - Telewhat? One propose a segmentation: Teleteaching Telelearning Teleexpertise Teleconsultation Telediagnosis TeleXXX My purpose: teleradiology in daily radiological practice (telediagnosis ± teleexpertise) Teleradiology - Why? In some area there is a lack of radiologists. Sometime it could be financially accurate to have only one radiologist on duty for several radiological facilities. Boston experimentation: a contract with an Israeli and an Asian Hospitals to have only daytime reading. Access to specialized expertise. Teleradiology in France Some applications dedicated to neurosurgery: Point to point, Specific, Launched at the beginning of the nineties, Expensive and not easy to use. New projects dedicated to general radiology. Teleradiology projects in France Auvergne Aquitaine Brittany Lorraine … Teleradiology in Cantal Mountainous area: transportation difficulties (winter). Lack of radiologists. Three main hospitals in the département: Only one have senior full time radiologists, One have an half time radiologist, The last one have only interim radiologists, Frequency of duty is too high in each hospital. Sometime specialized second advice could be necessary -> patient records have to be sent to university hospitals. The projects Send examinations to “on duty” radiologist home. One radiologist on duty for all three hospitals. Along the day, ability to send examination from one hospital to another directly from daily used working tools to daily used working tools. Simplicity of use. Security. Federate all imaging departments of the département to manage them as an unique entity.

All four networks will be federated on Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital (CHU). At the CHU a server will be able to: Give access to images in the DMZ, Import images in the local PACS, Send images to the right specialist “on duty” home for advice.
