Abstract:
Objective To investigate radiological imaging tele-consultation in clinical application. Methods All cases of the tele-consultation analyzed retrospectively came from the Hospital′s telemedicine center from January to December of 2015. The statistical analysis covered the level of applying hospital, modality type of imaging,inspection area,as well as the timing and purpose of the consultation.Results A total of 179 medical institutions required image consultation in 2015,most of which secondary hospitals,up to 58.66%. A total of 2 454 cases were consulted,including X-ray of 278 cases (11.33%),CT of 1 353 cases (55.13%), and MRI of 823 cases (33.54%). Purposes of tele-consultation vary from differential diagnosis of 1 602 cases(65.28%),definitive diagnosis of 766 cases(31.21%),and confirmative review of 86 cases (3.51%). 90.59% of the consultation cases were finished within 24 hours. Conclusions Radiological imaging tele-consultation could offer local hospitals with diagnosis efficiently effectively. On one hand,this service saves patients'costs and gains time for treatment. On the other,it makes primary hospitals more efficient in radiological imaging diagnosis.
