Abstract
A microcomputer-based teleradiology system was tested over a 6 mo. period by linking a medical center with 4 distant clinics. Data from > 4000 diagnostic X-ray examinations [in humans] were digitized and transmitted from the clinics to the center, where they were displayed on video terminals and interpreted by 30 military and civilian radiologists. The original radiographs were interpreted independently and the video and film reports compared to determine the feasibility of the teleradiology system. The quality of the video images resulted in diagnostic findings and impressions that were somewhat less accurate than those reported from comparable film images.
