In the context of the increasing demand for medical imaging services, the chronic crisis of specialized personnel and the limited financial resources of hospitals and clinics, teleradiology services provide support to clinics and significantly increase the quality of patient care.
Teleradiology represents an effective solution for improving the degree of use of equipment and devices, solving the shortage of doctors, significantly reducing the duration of drawing up medical reports and imaging diagnostics, as well as quick access to highly specialized imaging interpretations.
The teleradiology solution offered by “Atlas Imagistica” is developed by our team of radiologists based on effective knowledge of the functionality, needs and requirements of a radiology clinic, referring doctors and especially patients. The hardware-software and communications infrastructure was developed together with a renowned IT solution provider, using the latest IT and communications technologies as well as image and medical information processing standards.
The teleradiology services provided by “Atlas Imaging” are based on three pillars:
- The large team of radiologists including superspecialist doctors
- Advanced visualization technology, post-processing including artificial intelligence software
- TeleradiologyNET IT platform for easy and secure connection of clinics to the Atlas Imaging RIS/PACS system.
“Teleradiology presents limitations such as the lack of clinical examination and the possible use of image acquisition protocols not adapted to the patient and the condition. The patient and the doctor have the possibility to transform the teleradiology service into a classic, face-to-face one at any time;”
Clinics facing long transmission times for interpretations of radiological examinations can use the services of imaging interpretation and diagnosis offered by “Atlas Imagistica”.
At the beneficiary clinics, a DICOM NOD gateway (soft or hard) connecting to the teleradiology platform – TeleradiologyNET “Atlas Imaging” is installed at minimal cost.
The examinations collected with any scanning modality (RX, CT, MRI), which the beneficiary clinic decides to be interpreted by “Atlas Imaging” radiologists, are transmitted, by simply activating a button in the DICOM viewer of the beneficiary clinic, in the platform “Imaging Atlas”.
Transmission of images and all relevant clinical information is carried out in standardized DICOM and HL7 format via a secure and encrypted high-speed connection (SSL or dedicated VPN channel).
“Atlas Imaging” specialist radiologists interpret the images using the Advanced Visualization stations (which have CE certificate as Class IIA and/or IIB Medical Device) including 2D, 3D, 4D post-processing and post-processing software with specialty-specific AI capabilities (neuroradiology, oncology, cardiology, mammography, musculoskeletal imaging, abdominal imaging, chest imaging, vascular imaging, ENT imaging, etc.).
After interpreting the images, “Atlas Imaging” radiologists draw up, validate and sign the medical report using the template specific to the partner clinic in the RIS Atlas platform.
The medical report of the investigation in pdf format signed by the “Atlas Imaging” specialist is automatically transmitted to the PACS of the partner clinic, encapsulated in the DICOM file of the corresponding examination.
The receipt of examination interpretations by the beneficiary PACS is automatically confirmed by a DICOM Notification type message.
The DICOM file completed with the corresponding medical report can be used by the partner clinic with its own RIS/PACS, like any other DICOM file.
“Atlas Imagistica” can, upon request, integrate all the information into the partner clinic’s RIS using the HL 7/FHIR standard or through JSON files.
“Atlas Imagistica” offers continuous medical and technical support to the beneficiary clinics by phone, chat, audio or video from a Google for Healthcare platform. The platform enables secure communication and collaboration between the beneficiary, the requesting doctor, the radiologist and even the patient, in accordance with GDPR standards.
“Atlas Imagistica” sends periodic reports to beneficiaries according to requirements.
“Atlas Imaging” allows secure web access of clinics and patients to images and medical reports.
