Abstract
Summary. The 121st General Hospital in the Yongsan district of Seoul. Korea provides teleradiology services for the US Armed Forces in South Korea. The operation of this teleradiology service is a model of the support of rural teleradiology, providing radiology services to outlying clinics over a large geographic area. In a typical week this hospital receives and processes 225 radiological exams or 45 exams per day from 13 outlying clinics. During military exercises the load can increase dramatically. The result of the teleradiology service is a sharp improvement in the radiology service at the outlying clinics and faster more effective care for the patients of those clinics.Keywords
