“…Radiographic images are also used in dentistry and teledentistry, but these are beyond the scope of this review, and will be touched upon only briefly. 12 Radiology examinations are used for a wide variety of purposes, including (but not limited to) detection of injuries such as broken bones and ligament damage; detection of diseases such as cancer, arthritis, or Alzheimer's; measurement of disease response to therapy (e.g., tumor measurement before and after chemo or radiation therapy); screening for diseases such as breast, prostate, and lung cancer and tuberculosis; quantitative measurement of anatomic and functional processes (e.g., bone density, biomarkers for cancer and other diseases); image-guided minimally invasive interventions such as angiography, embolization, balloon angioplasty, needle biopsies, and vertebroplasty; assessing functional capacity and performance of organs such as the heart and lungs; and monitoring fetal growth and health. Radiation oncology 13 is a clinical specialty that treats cancer by destroying cancer cells using high-energy radiation.…”

Introduction: Radiology was founded on a technological discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Teleradiology also had its roots in technology dating back to 1947 with the successful transmission of radiographic images through telephone lines. Diagnostic radiology has become the eye of medicine in terms of diagnosing and treating injury and disease. This article documents the empirical foundations of teleradiology. Methods: A selective review of the credible literature during the past decade (2005-2015) was conducted, using robust research design and adequate sample size as criteria for inclusion. Findings: The evidence regarding feasibility of teleradiology and related information technology applications has been well documented for several decades. The majority of studies focused on intermediate outcomes, as indicated by comparability between teleradiology and conventional radiology. A consistent trend of concordance between the two modalities was observed in terms of diagnostic accuracy and reliability. Additional benefits include reductions in patient transfer, rehospitalization, and length of stay.

“…Several papers identified and discussed the development of national licensure systems and licenses as a possible solution to the barriers and inefficiencies imposed by a state licensure system. (65,66,77,78) Achieving this would require the successful navigation of many potential political and legal difficulties. (66) However, some exceptions to state jurisdiction over licensure currently exist.…”

Technology is transforming service delivery in many health professions, particularly with the rapid shift to virtual care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Health profession regulators must navigate legal and ethical complexities to facilitate virtual care while upholding their mandate to protect the public interest. The objectives of this scoping review were to examine how the public interest is protected when regulating health professionals who provide virtual care, discuss policy and practice implications of virtual care, and make recommendations for future research. We searched six multidisciplinary databases for academic literature published in English between January 2015 and May 2021. We also searched specific databases and websites for relevant grey literature. Sources were screened in duplicate against specified inclusion criteria. Fifty-nine academic articles and 18 grey literature sources were included. Data from included sources were extracted and descriptively synthesized. We identified five key findings. Most literature did not explicitly focus on the public interest aspects of regulating health professionals who provide virtual care. However, when the public interest was discussed, the dimension of access was emphasized. Criticism in the literature focused on social ideologies driving regulation that may inhibit more widespread use of virtual care, and subnational occupational licensure was viewed as a barrier. The demand for virtual care during COVID-19 catalyzed licensure and scope of practice changes. Virtual care introduces new areas of risk, potential harm, and inequity that health profession regulators need to address as technology continues to evolve. Regulators have an essential role in providing clear standards and guidelines around virtual care, including what is required for competent practice. There are indications that the public interest concept is evolving in relation to virtual care as regulators continue to balance public safety, equitable access to services, and economic competitiveness.
