Overview

Developments in teleradiology are progressing at great speed. As a consequence, there is a need for a broad overview of the field. This first-ever book on teleradiology is presented in such a way that it should make it accessible to anyone, independent of their knowledge of technology. The text is designed to be used by all professionals, including radiologists, surgeons, nurses and allied health professionals, and computer scientists. In a very short time, driven by technical developments, the field of teleradiology has become too extensive to be covered by only a small number of experts. Therefore, Teleradiology has been written with chapter contributions from a host of renowned international authorities in teleradiology (see the Contents and the Contributors). This ensures that the subject matter focusing on recent advances in teleradiology is truly up to date. Our guiding hope during this task was that as editors of multiple chapters we could still write with a single voice and keep the content coherent and simple. We hope that the clarity of this book makes up for any limitations in its comp- hensiveness.

Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen: Einen Auberblick uber eine Wissenschaft zu geben, die sich rasant entwickelt, ist nicht leicht. ! Sajeesh Kumar und Elizabeth Krupinski haben sich angeschickt, das zu andern. ! In seiner Ansprache wendet sich das Buch nicht nur an Teleradiologen, sondern ebenso an die Krankenschwester, den Computerfachmann oder an Mediziner anderer Fachgebiete. Das Glossar am Ende des Buches hilft bei der Begriffsdefinition. Nicht zuletzt rufen die Herausgeber zum Dialog mit ihren Lesern auf - damit das Buch eine Fortsetzungsgeschichte werden kann. (Schellhase, in: EHEALTHCOM, 2009, Issue 2, S. 77)
