Teleradiology is a branch of telemedicine in which telecommunication systems are used to transmit radiological images from one location to another. Interpretation of all noninvasive imaging studies, such as digitized x-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine studies, can be carried out in such a manner.
The first steps in teleradiology date back to 1929 when a medical image was transmitted via telegraph to a distant location
To understand the definition of telemedicine
Knowing the history of telemedicine
To understand the advantages of telemedicine
Telemedicine during COVID 19
Future of telemedicine
Benefits of telemedicine
The challenges and opportunities in telemedicine during COVID 19 pandemic
Project supervisors: Dr. Rosalind Silverman and Dr. Lorelei Silverman
Background A multidisciplinary team consisting of premedical and predental students, internationally trained doctors, and IT professionals will showcase the present and future of telemedicine post COVID 19 era.
Methodology Our team researched literature and surveyed telemedicine clinics in Canada to identify the usage of telemedicine, devices, advantages and disadvantages of telemedicine in 18 medical disciplines.
Results We will present new technologies and best practice in telemedicine and tele dentistry as well as the practical use in clinics across Canada, USA, and internationally. We will also demonstrate the further role of telemedicine in expanding the field, and challenges and opportunities during COVID19. In addition, we will share our survey of application of telemedicine to telepsychiatry, teleradiology, telepathology, telecardiology, tele respirology, pediatrics, women health, ophthalmology, ENT, emergency response, physiatry, gastroenterology, infertility, dermatology, oncology, palliative care, allergology, rheumatology, and plastic surgery. The advantages of telemedicine such as fast access to care, reduced cost, cutting down on commuting, travelling in bad weather, taking time off from work, need for childcare, immobile patients, remote areas, cultural taboos are also assessed. The disadvantages of telemedicine are mainly present in older population that has less exposure to technology and the concern over data security.
Conclusion In sum, using virtual health care tools and telemedicine we can shorten wait times to see a provider, reduce the risk of community infection, improve training, and expand the range of access to specialists who live further away or need to be consulted for a second opinion

Older, richer patients more likely to choose in-person doctors' visits than t...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
A large study of more than 1.1 million patients in a Kaiser Permanente health care system in California finds certain characteristics — such as age — may predict which patients choose to visit their primary doctors via telemedicine versus in person. Looking at data between 2016-2018, researchers found that the vast majority of patients chose in-person visits, and that those older than 65 were much less likely than those in the 18-44 age group to choose telemedicine. Patients whose clinic had a paid parking structure versus free parking, and those who lived in residential areas with high internet access were also more likely to choose telemedicine.
