Tele-imaging Workstation Enhances Diagnosis

Efficiency

Tele-consultation and tele-imaging become one of the developing applications during the pandemic, to provide professional diagnosis via no physical face-to-face interaction between patients and doctors. Portable ultrasound, digital stethoscope, ophthalmoscope, otoscope, and other digital scopes are usually applied to assess patient's health condition at local clinics or community hospitals. Those modality images are transmitted to remote specialist hospitals for diagnosis. The tele-consultation procedure helps patients who reside in remote areas now receive quality medical service without time-consuming waiting and transportation disadvantage. Immediate diagnosis and medication adjustment can be made through live interaction and real-time assessment based on the shared image from local clinics. The display quality, including grayscale and color reproduction and the imaging consistency, becomes one of the essential factor to ensure a correct decision and an effective follow-up treatment.
