Telecommunication of Images in the Practice of Diagnostic Radiology

Abstract

A real-time point-to-point television system was evaluated to determine its practicality in diagnostic radiology, using ultra-high frequency radiotransmission. From the standpoint of nuclear medicine images, the system was entirely satisfactory; with radiographs, satisfactory performance required the use of close-up and zoom lenses. Such a system may be used to facilitate radiological diagnosis in areas which lack an adequate radiology service of their own.
