Growing Adoption of Teleradiology Services Drives Europe Teleradiology Services Market
Teleradiology is a branch of telemedicine that involves transmitting radiological medical images in multiple modalities from one location to another to share studies with other radiologists and physicians for analysis and interpretation purposes. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in November 2019, a number of healthcare establishments issued guidance to healthcare providers and people in the affected areas to maintain social distancing and offer clinical services through virtual means such as telehealth.As telehealth is bridging the gap between people, physicians, and health systems by enabling patients to communicate with physicians through virtual channels, it is helping in reducing unnecessary visits to hospitals for minor issues. Teleradiology has facilitated subspecialty consultations and collaborations. Radiologists who have specialized expertise can remotely consult complex cases, ensuring accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans. When paired with telehealth services, teleradiology can help care providers study real-time patient data to generate intelligent individualized insights and curate the best treatment plan from the comfort and safety of their homes.
