Teleradiology service by diagnostic radiologists
Tele-RAD is a remote diagnostic image interpretation support service that remotely receives medical images (CT/MRI) and diagnosis requests from medical institutions, and then returns a diagnosis report. Being Japan's largest board certified diagnostic radiologist platform, diagnoses are provided quickly and with high precision. Requests are matched to their subspecialties, allowing the creation of high-quality radiology reports.
