Abstract: | Teleradiology, the largest single application of telemedicine in Australia, has the potential to improve healthcare access, delivery and standards, but also raise complex new legal and ethical issues. In the absence of any cases of alleged negligence in teleradiology before the courts, a hypothetical case reveals some of the medicolegal risks. These may be minimised by measures including adherence to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists' guidelines on teleradiology. |
