Images & Reports

RIA has nearly 20 years of experience in teleradiology. Our IT staff has honed our technology infrastructure to reliably and securely transmit and store radiographic images.

Despite your location, teleradiology can give you access to RIA’s highly qualified, sub-specialized radiologists. The expertise and experience of our radiologists, in combination with rapid turnaround times for image interpretations, can significantly improve patient care.

Teleradiology Overview

The teleradiology process begins with the submission of radiographic images from virtually any modality to an RIA server. Our sub-specialized radiologists will interpret the images and dictate a report, which is available to the submitting physician within hours via a secure internet connection and an easy-to-use web-based clinical viewer. The images and corresponding report will be stored on an RIA server for 30 days after submission, allowing for repeated viewing. Every step of the process adheres to HIPAA compliance guidelines, ensuring that your patients’ information remains secure and private.

Technology Standards for Teleradiology

For the transmission of images and reports to be successful, certain standards must be met for image formatting and compression, security, and internet access. Depending on your current equipment and technology infrastructure, you may incur some start up costs to utilize teleradiology. There are significant benefits to teleradiology, which can make any initial start up costs a sound investment in your practice.
