Teleradiology is the transfer of radiology images, CT, MRI, X-ray, and ultrasound, from the centre where the scan is performed to another reporting location.
The images are reviewed by a radiologist who may not be physically present at the hospital.

This allows the interpretation of imaging studies remotely. It is particularly useful when a sub-specialist opinion is required, for example, in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, paediatric imaging, or MRI-based evaluation. Reporting can therefore continue outside routine working hours.
