Teleradiology Market: Overview

The global teleradiology market is majorly enhanced by technological advancements in teleradiology everywhere on the planet. Other major factors are the rising geriatric population base and elevation in healthcare expenditure, paired with an elevated occurrence of chronic disorders. On the opposite hand, technology paired with a possible lack of skilled technicians & radiologists are the main hindering factors which will hamper the growth of the teleradiology market.

However, high rates of penetration by Internet & smartphones, paired with elevated healthcare awareness amongst patients everywhere on the planet, are expected to reveal new growth opportunities for the teleradiology market within the forecast period. In addition to the present, various government initiatives will also support the growth of the worldwide teleradiology market.

Teleradiology is the process of electronic transmission of radiologic images from one location to another for the interpretation and/or consultation. Teleradiology allows for more timely interpretation of radiologic images and helps in giving greater access to secondary consultations. The major advantage of teleradiology is that users in different locations may simultaneously view the images. Teleradiology is widely implemented by hospitals, urgent care clinics, and specialist imaging companies to address staff shortages, to provide radiological services and to address the lack of expertise. The teleradiology process includes: image acquisition and storage station, an image sending station, a transmission network and a receiving image station that must have a high-quality display screen that has been cleared for clinical purposes. Teleradiology benefits both the patients as well as the radiologists. Various advantages of teleradiology for the patients include the availability of top radiologists for the interpretation of the findings, as well the findings are obtained in a very short period of time and even the costs of travel for the patients, accommodation, and absence from their workplace are minimized.

In countries like the US and UK, radiological scans performed are increasing, whereas the shortage of radiologists persists. Also, developing countries like India experience a shortage of radiological experts in rural areas. During night hours, emergency conditions lack of availability of diagnostic services, cause great problems. Teleradiology plays an important role in outsourcing radiology interpretation or diagnosis and assures competent and timely professional help. Thus, the use of teleradiology has become of prime importance in remote locations, at night hours and in emergencies.

Teleradiology solutions also help to enhance the efficiency of diagnostic imaging by optimizing and simplifying radiology with accurate reads and reducing human/manual errors. However, this industry is facing monetary, staffing, and logistics challenges as a variety of radiologists are getting into the cluster of telehealth and teleradiology. Also, there are internet bandwidth issues, especially in rural hospital settings, and other people living in rural areas are hesitant to simply accept teleradiology reports due to data breach issues.

Teleradiology Market: Dynamics

Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus globally, there's a sudden rise in the demand for teleradiology services. The growth of this market is especially attributed to the increasing geriatric population and, therefore, the subsequent upsurge in the prevalence of associated diseases, the increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions, and the benefits offered by teleradiology and a shortage of skilled radiologists. However, declining reimbursements and increasing regulatory burden within the US, and data breaches of imaging reports, hampered market growth to an extent.
