Teleradiology
Telediagnosis and tele-expertise: patient benefit first.
TELERADIOLOGIE
- When the image production centre is different from the diagnostic site, remote diagnosis consists in transmitting the images to a radiologist who interprets them remotely before sharing his report.
- Tele-expertise consists in calling in a remote radiologist to guide the examination, confirm a diagnosis or share a second medical opinion.
Today, these practices are encouraged by the public authorities and academic societies that have organized themselves to create a legal framework for it.
A recognized solution
…to improve efficiency for the benefit of patients.
Supported by the growing capacity of information exchange networks, teleradiology is a response to organisational changes in patient care and the demography of medical staff in healthcare regions.
It offers greater efficiency, with faster treatment, more accurate examination protocols and more relevant diagnoses.
Awarded a prize in 2006 by the French Ministry of Health, the Evolucare Imaging solution was designed from the outset to support telemedicine projects. Our expertise and the relevance of our solutions have been rewarded by numerous deployments of teleradiology solutions in different countries.
Evolucare Imaging teleradiology solution
Based on a robust and efficient architecture
- Evolucare Transfer module enables image sharing between different sites (e.g. from medical images production sites to diagnosis centers, or between different PACS / modalities / diagnosis consoles). The module handles DICOM lossless compression and decompression.
- Evolucare Distribution module provides an unlimited and secured web access to the worklist and DICOM files to any internal and external players of the imaging service : radiologists, experts, prescribing doctors, patients. This modules enables remote and second opinion diagnosis.
The combination of both Transfer and Distributions modules enables advanced Teleradiology use case :
- Transfer of DICOM files between different DICOM nodes
- Remote access to the worklist and reporting tools such as digital dictation, speech regognition via a single web interface
- Remote diagnosis and second opinion request
