Abstract:
Teleradiology, an established telemedicine practice globally, has significantly enhanced the accessibility of high-quality radiological interpretations in remote areas worldwide, especially in India, thereby improving healthcare outcomes. The utilization of teleradiology services has seen a marked increase, expanding its reach into more distant regions of the country. However, this burgeoning field faces numerous regulatory, financial, and technical challenges. The current scenario regarding teleradiology in India is a double-edged sword. There is an increasing demand for it due to the expanding population, resulting in larger imaging volumes needing radiologist services. This editorial aims to examine the prevailing challenges in teleradiology in India, with an emphasis on the compensation model for teleradiologists, which has not kept pace with the growing demand for services and often remains inequitable.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
