Royal Philips has expanded its teleradiology services portfolio to increase access to precision diagnoses and address a rising shortage of radiologists.
Including Cloud-based picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) software and Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) solutions, the new telehealth platforms are used for advanced analytics, visualisation and workflow applications.
The services enhance teleradiology viewing, reporting, on-call radiologist services and exam workflow.
Teleradiology enables radiologists to remotely store, retrieve, view and analyse images from medical exams such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and X-ray.
Royal Philips Radiology Solutions business leader Sham Sokka said: “As health systems worldwide struggle with the ever-increasing costs and a shortage of care providers, teleradiology will be a key enabler to optimally use the available resources, and support radiology departments to improve the speed and accuracy of image interpretation.
“We see imaging as a system and deliver innovation to support the needs of all the people behind the images by seamlessly integrating technology and data. Our new teleradiology services address a pressing need, while providing a strong platform for Philips’ future growth in the telehealth market.”
