Teleradiology is the electronic transmission of radiologic images from one location to another for the purpose of interpretation and/or consultation. Today, images can be easily transmitted to another location using the high-speed internet. In medical area, teleradiology has developed rapidly in recent 10 years due to the imbalance between the demand and availability of diagnostic services. However, teleradiology in dentistry is still inactive. I would like to overview the current teleradiology system, and discuss the necessity and the potentiality.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the clinical usefulness of teleradiology in general dental practice. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and seventy five cases were submitted for inquiry to the case presentation board of the website of The Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology for a 5 year periods. The diagnosis results of those cases were analyzed according to the disease classification, the correlation with the patient's chief complaint, the necessity of additional examinations or treatments, the image modalities, and the number of dentists inquiring. Results: Differential diagnoses of normal anatomic structures were the most frequently submitted cases, covering 15.6% of all cases. Among 275 cases, 164 cases required no additional treatments or examinations. Panoramic radiographs were the most frequently submitted images, accounting for 248 inquiries. The 275 cases were submitted by 96 dentists. Fifty-two dentists wrote one inquiry, and 44 inquired 2 or more times. The average inquiry number of the latter group was 5.0 cases. Conclusion: A teleradiology system in general dental practice could be helpful in the differential diagnosis of common lesions and reduce unnecessary costs.

Picture archiving and communications systems(PACS) for digital image distribution, archiving and transmission, represent the modern hospital. PACS is the medical image management system within a hospital, whereas teleradiology system is the medical image communication system between remote sites. PACS and teleradiology systems usually consists of mainly four parts such as image acquisition part, image storage and database part, Image communication network part, and image display workstation part. Among these components comprised In the PACS, workstations are the point of contact between a PACS and the radiologist or referring physician. Therefore, the acceptance of PACS is highly dependent on workstation functionality, performance and easy of use compared with the conventional film-based radiology. This paper describes overall configurations and some requirements of PACS and teleradiology.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rates of unacceptable diagnosis and clinically significant diagnostic discrepancy in radiology sections and imaging modalities through a peer review of teleradiology. Materials and Methods Teleradiology peer reviews in a Korean teleradiology clinic in 2018 and 2019 were included. The peer review scores were classified as acceptable and unacceptable diagnoses and clinically insignificant and significant diagnostic discrepancy. The diagnostic discrepancy rates and clinical significance were compared among radiology sections and imaging modalities using the chi-square test. Results Of 1312 peer reviews, 117 (8.9%) cases had unacceptable diagnoses. Of 462 diagnostic discrepancies, the clinically significant discrepancy was observed in 104 (21.6%) cases. In radiology sections, the unacceptable diagnosis was highest in the musculoskeletal section (21.4%) (p < 0.05), followed by the abdominal section (7.3%) and neuro section (1.3%) (p < 0.05). The proportion of significant discrepancy was higher in the chest section (32.7%) than in the musculoskeletal (19.5%) and abdominal sections (17.1%) (p < 0.05). Regarding modalities, the number of unacceptable diagnoses was higher with MRI (16.2%) than plain radiology (7.8%) (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in significant discrepancy. Conclusion Peer review provides the rates of unacceptable diagnosis and clinically significant discrepancy in teleradiology. These rates also differ with subspecialty and modality.

This study was performed to determine the adequate resolution and compression method in teleradiology. A digital imaging system using Machintosh IT ci computer, 15' Sony high resolution RGB monitor, Umax Power look flatbed scanner with transparency unit and 12 panoramic radiographs were used. The results were as follows : 1. Relative detectability at the group scanned by 30ddpi, 600dpi and 1200dpi was same as those at the real panoramic radiographs. 2. Perceivable image quality degradation was found at the 25％ of middle quality of JPEG compression. But those were not diagnostically significant. 3. Perceivable image quality degradation was found at the 100％ of low quality of JPEG compression. And 8cases among them were diagnostically significant. On the basis of the above results, it is considered that the adequate resolution in scanning radiographs for teleradiology is 300dpi and compression method is the middle quality of JPEG compression.

최근 코로나 19가 장기화하면서, 비대면서비스로 대체되고 있는 한편, 의료분야에도 서비스 패러다임이 변화되고 있다. 특히, 국내의 법 제도적으로 묶여 있는 원격 의료서비스의 적용이 가능하고 상급종합병원에서는 비대면 진료서비스를 도입하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 비대면 원격판독시스템은 모바일 의료영상진단기기를 기반으로 의료사각지대에 있는 환자들의 영상촬영과 이에 대한 판독 서비스를 제공하기 위한 시스템이다. 제안한 시스템은 의료환경에 적용하기 위해 환자의 개인정보를 보호하고, 원격으로 환자의 영상 데이터를 판독하기 위한 시스템과 그 처리 과정을 보인다. 그리고 끝으로 구축된 시스템의 수행 결과를 보인다.
