Teleradiology and a Radiology Second Opinion: Prospects and Relevant Ins and Outs

Radiology exams are very important for clinical decision making.

Practice shows that such "remote" radiology has obvious advantages, but some nuances must be taken into account if you want to get the best results. In fact, the effectiveness of a second opinion depends not only on the technical quality, but also on the completeness of medical data provided in addition to the images.
