Widespread use of teleradiology services could be declining
October 21, 2009Researchers have found recent evidence that shows the growth of external, off-hours teleradiology services (EOTSs) has slowed in recent years, despite a significant increase in the number of radiology practices using those services between 2003 and 2007, according to a study in the November issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
The data collected showed that the number of radiology practices using EOTSs increased from 15 percent to 44 percent between 2003 and 2007. Patterns of use were generally as might be expected; however nonmetropolitan practices, which might be expected to have high odds of using EOTSs, did not.
In spite of predictions that the market for EOTSs will continue to expand, researchers commented on recent evidence that may suggest otherwise. "Data on the number of examinations performed taken from recent quarterly reports of the largest firm in the industry, Nighthawk Radiology Services, suggests slower growth," said Rebecca Lewis, lead author of the study. In addition, a survey of a convenience sample of radiology practice leaders, found extremely few were using teleradiology firms for daytime reads or subspeciality interpretations, although providing these services is a prominent expansion strategy of the industry. Also, a considerable number of practices that had been using teleradiology services EOTSs were no longer doing so.
Authors concluded that the use of EOTSs was widespread by 2007. However the use of EOTSs could be on the decline. Further research is needed to clarify future trends.

Patient photos spur radiologist empathy and eye for detail
Including a patient's photo with imaging exam results may enable a more meticulous reading from the radiologist interpreting the images, as well as a more personal and empathetic approach, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Teleradiology by Sajeesh Kumar (Editor), Elizabeth A. Krupinski (Editor) Written by experts from around the globe, i.e., from USA, Europe, Australia and Asia, this book explains technical issues, digital information processing and collective experiences from practitioners in different parts of the world practicing a wide range of Teleradiology applications. This includes robotic teleradiology, wireless teleradiology for renal trauma, teleradiology: freehand haptic device, international trade in teleradiology, teleradiology: economic and legal considerations, teleradiology in the US Army, teleradiology for head injury management etc. This book lays the foundations for the globalisation of tele radiological procedures, making it possible to know that a radiological analysis could perform on a patient anywhere in the world. |

The Potential of Teleradiology for Entrepreneurial Activities: Qualitative Interviews, Cost/Benefit Analysis and a Practical Case Study by Michael Raven (Author) Due to the demographic shift and substantial improvements in image processing, the demand for diagnostic imaging, the most important subcategory of radiology, is continuously increasing. In total, the diagnostic imaging market is forecasted to a volume of $100 billion in 2009 only in the United States. Standard network technologies and standardized image data have opened an opportunity window with regard to teleradiology. This book assesses the potential of teleradiology in Germany using Grichnik`s opportunity map as a conceptual approach. A judgment about the pros and cons of teleradiology is made from a medical perspective as well as through a cost/benefit analysis. It can be concluded that teleradiology has some drawbacks which need to be overcome, e.g. a strict legal environment and... |

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Teleradiology and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in India by Icon Group International (Author) This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for teleradiology and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) across the states, union territories and cities of India. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across over 5,000 cities in India. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's state or union territory and of India as a whole is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state or union territory and city, latent demand estimates are created for... |

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Teleradiology and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in Japan by Icon Group International (Author) This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for teleradiology and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) across the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it's prefecture and of Japan is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-a-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates are created for teleradiology and picture archiving and communication... |

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Teleradiology and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in Asia & Oceana by Icon Group International (Author) This econometric study covers the outlook for teleradiology and picture archiving and communication systems (pacs) in Asia & Oceana. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities... |

The 2009 Report on Teleradiology and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS): World Market Segmentation by City by Icon Group International (Author) This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless world", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked... |
