Abstract
In the United States, teleradiology using an external service to provide preliminary or final medical image interpretation is an increasingly necessary component of radiology services, especially for smaller institutions or practices. This review aims to provide a background history to the current teleradiology services provided and also addresses the limitations and issues involved in organising such a service.
