Tele radiology refers to the remote interpretation of medical imaging studies, such as CT scans, by radiologists who are located at a different geographical location from where the imaging study is performed. It involves the transmission of medical images, typically in digital format, over a secure network to allow radiologists to interpret and report on the images from a distance.

Here's how tele radiology works in the context of CT scans:

Image Acquisition: The CT scan is performed on a patient at a medical facility, such as a hospital, imaging center, or clinic, using a CT scanner.

Image Transmission: After the CT scan is completed, the digital images are transmitted securely over a network to a remote location where radiologists are located. This transmission can occur via a secure internet connection or a dedicated tele radiology network.

Radiologist Interpretation: Radiologists at the remote location receive the transmitted CT images and interpret them to make diagnostic assessments. They review the images carefully, identify any abnormalities or findings of interest, and provide a written report with their findings and recommendations
