A follow-up system of radiograph interpretation reports by the remote diagnostic reading doctor at our hospital

抄録

In our hospital, two diagnostic reading doctors (one on-site, one remote) read CT and MRI images. When they encounter acute findings or evidence of infectious diseases, or when important findings are overlooked, a remote diagnostic reading doctor, unlike an on-site doctor, cannot contact the attending physician immediately. Therefore, the radiological technologists and medical clerks developed a system in June 2012 through which follow-up with attending physicians was made possible. We report the details of this system and the results of the first two years of use.
