Throughout the pandemic, teleradiology has been a workflow and productivity model that has allowed radiologists to continue processing images while staying safe and reducing their exposure to COVID-19. But, remote reading does have its challenges – and continuing it as a long-term solution can be difficult. This week Diagnostic Imaging Editorial Board member Mina Makary, M.D., an interventional radiologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and his colleague Kelvin Wong, B.S., explored the obstacles presented by using teleradiology throughout the remainder of the pandemic and beyond. Look for his column later this week.
