Abstract:
Teleradiology is an essential part of modern radiology practice. It enhances efficiencies in image interpretation by improving availability and accessibility of radiologists. Being at the crossroads of technology, diagnostic radiology, and complex workflows, teleradiology provides abundant opportunities for academic engagement and innovative workflows, and allows for research and publication encompassing these multiple facets. This perspective provides an insight into the academic pursuits in teleradiology, highlighting the potential for contributions across these various domains, including core radiology, technological advancements, implementation challenges, innovative solutions, and lifestyle opportunities. By exploring these areas, we aim to provide a glimpse of the scope of a fulfilling academic career in teleradiology for radiologists, which extends beyond its primary attributes of convenience, lifestyle, and economics.
