Teleradiology

Sutter Coast Hospital is now online with a new service designed to help ease the workload on radiologists late at night. It's called Teleradiology and involves transmitting diagnostic imaging scans to a radiologist at another facility.

Teleradiology provides our radiologist with help during the night and giving our emergency room doctors and other physicians fast and efficient service.

The hospital transmits CAT scans, ultrasound images and MRI results via computer to another facility. A preliminary report is then sent to the emergency room and a copy is also sent to radiology at Sutter Coast.

The results come back from the teleradiologist very quickly. Often, by the time a patient is returned to the ER, we have received a written report of the findings. In the case of abnormal results, the ER physician is telephoned immediately by the remote radiologist and the tests are discussed.

Teleradiology service is used from 7pm to 7am seven days a week, including holidays.
