Teleradiology Market Size Is Projected To Around $10 Billion By 2025
The rapid development in telecommunication and computer technologies
has fueled a revolution in medicine facilitating all kinds of assistance to the
patients at a distance. The availability of mediums to affordably and quickly
transmit digital data over long distances has largely contributed to the
evolution of remote diagnostics and consultation over the years. Teleradiology
refers to the transfer of digitized medical images over electronic networks and
interpretation of those transmitted images for diagnostic purposes. Any type of
medical image can be transmitted through teleradiology provided; those images
are converted in a digital form. Conventional hard copy images can be
transformed into a digital form using special high resolution laser scanners or
charge coupled device (CCD) scanners. Many medical images are inherently
digital such as magnetic resonance images, nuclear medicine images, ultrasound
images, computed radiography images, digital radiography images, and digital
fluoroscopy images. If such images are in a standard format, they can be
directly linked to a teleradiology system.

For data transfer, teleradiology systems use general packet
radio service (GPRS), global system for mobile telecommunications (GSM), and 3G
systems that enable the transmission of multimedia content at high speed.
Transmission of the digitized images requires communication equipment. The type
of communication equipment varies with the medium being used. Such equipment
includes a conventional telephone line, a channel service unit for a T1 line, a
terminal adapter required for an ISDN line, a cable modem or a DSL modem. Once
the images are received at the interpretation site, they can be directly routed
to an interpretation workstation or they could be sent to an image server which
permits distribution of these images within the facility or institution. The
kind of monitor used to display these acquired images depends upon whether it
is used for on call emergency or for detailed primary readings. Digital imaging
data management systems have data storage capacity which has to be in
compliance with the state, federal regulations pertaining to retrieval and
retention of medical records.
Teleradiology has widespread applications in remote medical
assistance. 24 hour on call coverage for emergency cases is possible even when
the clinician is not available at the institution. Primary interpretations or
second opinions are easily managed in a hassle free manner with electronically
transmitted medical images. Safety of the medical images can also be
considerably improved by storing them in a digitized form.Some of the key
factors driving the growth of teleradiology market are, the growing prevalence
of chronic disorders leading to rise in number of emergency cases in urban as
well as rural areas, increase in medical expenditure in developing countries
and favorable evolution of telecommunication and medical imaging technology.
With instant remote access to the images on the cloud network, radiologists can
deliver efficient diagnosis, consultation and monitoring to the patients at
remote locations. X-ray segment occupied major share of the overall market in
2016 owing to rise in number of X-ray scans and growing number of bone related
fractures and dental injuries. Additionally, introduction of innovative and
advanced filmless X-ray systems will further boost the market growth. The
computed tomography segment is projected to witness a significant growth during
the forecast period. This is primarily attributed to its high resolution
imaging capacity.

The U.S. accounted for the largest share of the North
American teleradiology market in 2016. This large share can be attributed to
number of factors such as the presence of well-established healthcare
infrastructure due to high healthcare expenditure, availability of high speed
internet services, and high adoption of advanced products in the country.
