AB  - Teleradiology improves patient care by allowing radiologists to provide services without actually
having to be at the location of the patient. This is particularly important when a sub-specialist such as a MRI
radiologist, Neuroradiologist, Pediatric radiologist or Musculoskeletal radiologist is needed, since these
professionals are generally only located in large metropolitan areas working during day time hours.
Teleradiology allows for trained specialists to be available. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of residents
and radiology professionals towards the necessity of the availability patients’ data in Teleradiology. The
survey included residents and radiologists in hospitals affiliated to Semnan and Mazandaran Universities of
Medical Sciences in Iran. In this study, questionnaires and interviews were used. Results showed that 75% too
much needed to patients’ clinical data for interpreting of radiology images. Most of the population stated that
due to the necessity of making available patient’s record when presenting diagnosis, the use of technologies
such as Teleradiology and other communication infrastructures are considered as effective factors. The results
of this survey showed that quality of patient care can dramatically be increased by using mechanisms such as
building infrastructures of Teleradiology, Telecommunication, HIS/RIS and PACS systems.
