Remote interpretation of chest roentgenograms.

W S Andrus, C H Hunter, K T Bird

    Chest
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Radiologists can interpret chest X-rays effectively using television transmission, similar to direct viewing. This technology, telemedicine in radiology, enables remote interpretation of roentgenograms, improving access to radiologic services.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology
    • Telemedicine

    Background:

    • Traditional radiology relies on direct interpretation of physical films.
    • Increasing demand for radiologic services necessitates exploring remote diagnostic capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of interpreting chest roentgenograms via television transmission compared to direct film viewing.
    • To assess the feasibility of using telemedicine for remote radiological interpretations.

    Main Methods:

    • Two physicians interpreted 98 chest films using monitor display of transmitted television signals.
    • Interpretations were compared to classic, direct-view interpretations of the same films.
    • Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used for performance comparison.

    Main Results:

    • Interpretation performance was similar between television display and direct film viewing.
    • When ambiguous hazy densities were excluded, interpretations were virtually identical between the two modes.
    • The 14-mile transmission with a repeater station did not significantly impair diagnostic accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Interpreting roentgenograms at a distance via television is a feasible method for delivering radiology services.
    • This approach can potentially expand access to expert radiological interpretations, especially in underserved areas.
    • Further research into the impact of image quality and different transmission methods is warranted.
