Abstract:
Teleradiology is a means of electronically transmitting radiographic patient images and consultative text. This offers a new way to communicate with other radiologists and transferring clinicians. Different applications of teleradiology, such as on-call services for emergency departments or rural regions, as well as expert consultation (second opinion) already have been realized. Especially in concern of dental radiography, analog (film-based) imaging gets progressively replaced by digital imaging. The combination with ultrafast data transfer offers an increasing efficacy in diagnosis and therapy, acceleration of communication and new means of quality assessment in patient care. Various applications of teleradiology concerning dental medicine are discussed.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
