Satellite data system may expand teleradiology's orbit
The launch of the experimental Japanese WINDS satellite in late February holds promise for teleradiology, with researchers hoping the geostationary Ka-band communications satellite will boost teleradiology into a new ultrahigh-speed communications era.
The launch of the experimental Japanese WINDS satellite in late February holds promise for teleradiology, with researchers hoping the geostationary Ka-band communications satellite will boost teleradiology into a new ultrahigh-speed communications era.
The satellite could offer Internet speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps. Such a backbone would address bandwidth limitation issues that plague teleradiology operations, particularly in remote locations. Ultrahigh-speed communications would also facilitate remote education.
The satellite carries high-gain antennas and a high-speed asynchronous transfer mode switch, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Data transfers of 1.2 Gbps will be available to clinics and offices with 5-m antennas.
The Reading Room: Artificial Intelligence: What RSNA 2020 Offered, and What 2021 Could Bring
December 5th 2020Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of AI at Radiology Partners, discusses, during RSNA 2020, what new developments the annual meeting provided about these technologies, sessions to access, and what to expect in the coming year.
Current Perspectives on Radiology Workforce Issues and Potential Solutions
March 14th 2024Emphasizing the gravity of the ongoing workforce shortage in radiology, these authors recommend a change agenda focusing on expanded numbers of residency positions, reassessment of educational pathways, maintaining a strong presence in hospital settings and practice level initiatives to reduce administrative burden and achieve appropriate reimbursement beyond RVU measurements.
Could Cloud-Based 'Progressive Loading' be a Boon for Radiology Workflows?
March 13th 2024The newly launched Progressive Loading feature, available through RamSoft’s OmegaAI software, reportedly offers radiologist rapid uploading of images that is faster than on-site networks and other cloud-based systems regardless of the network radiologists are using.
