A PACS workstation can double as a teleradiology workstation, eliminating the need for a separate, and unintegrated, teleradiology system, radiologists at New Jersey Medical School have found.
The department has employed a full-time attending radiologist in Tel Aviv, Israel, to deliver timely emergency room coverage. The radiologist in Tel Aviv uses a 2.5-Mbps DSL connection that links his PACS workstation to the radiology department via a virtual private network. Two PCs access the hospital and radiology information systems.
The full system can transmit chest CT studies in three minutes and head CT studies in two minutes. The attending radiologist in Israel reviews resident cases hourly during the U.S. night shift and provides immediate consultation for emergency room cases.
