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.
