Five Reasons Why Radiology Needs AI
From a business perspective, the appeal of the radiology-AI combination is related to the extraordinary potential of a transformational technological disruption that can simultaneously address the issues of cost, understaffing, efficiency and quality in the delivery of radiologic services (the latter are all unfortunate realities in today’s world of major radiologist shortages).
The investor storyline is also psychologically compelling given as it ties in with futuristic imagery of the man-machine combine and its potential to transcend traditional human limitations with the bionic capabilities of the AI-supported super-radiologist. Published in Indiamedtoday

Teleradiology Solutions announces reporting volumes and revenue bounce back post-pandemic
Throughout the COVID pandemic, there was a reduction of radiology imaging due to several factors:
- Elective surgeries and imaging were postponed by hospitals and patients
- Due to lockdowns, traffic accidents and trauma had reduced significantly
- The stay at home and masking mandate reduced transmission of other respiratory infections.
As a result, even though telemedicine consultations rose dramatically during the pandemic, hospital admissions and diagnostic elective imaging and radiology reporting volumes dropped globally.
Teleradiology Solutions to telereport chest CT scans for free as part of its 'COVID SUPPORT' initiative
The aim is to help give the ‘CT severity score index’ of a COVID positive patient when the CT scan is uploaded on the website. The scans are analyzed by a team of experienced radiologists at no cost to the patient. “CT severity score index is a radiology-based quantification protocol which can improve the identification of patients at risk for clinical deterioration for optimization and better management of hospital resources by frontline healthcare personnel. HRCT report quantifies the extent of the ground-glass opacities in the lung cavities, which are a crucial marker of COVID severity” said Dr. Arjun Kalyanpur, Chief Radiologist, Teleradiology Foundation.

The State of Teleradiology in 2019
Since teleradiology hit the scene nearly two decades ago, thoughts and opinions about this type of service have been a pendulum swing. Initial thoughts that it would push some providers out of practice eventually gave way to mutually-beneficial relationships.
“Teleradiology is a saturated, mature market that is no longer growing,” says Lawrence Muroff, MD, FACR, chief executive officer and president of Imaging Consultants, Inc. “If anything, it’s shrinking somewhat because, as practices get larger, they have a greater capability of providing comprehensive call themselves.”“Teleradiology is a saturated, mature market that is no longer growing,” says Lawrence Muroff, MD, FACR, chief executive officer and president of Imaging Consultants, Inc. “If anything, it’s shrinking somewhat because, as practices get larger, they have a greater capability of providing comprehensive call themselves.”

Dr Sunita Maheshwari, a medical doctor and Co-founder of medtech solutions company Teleradiology Solutions, says, “The good news is we have talented women, in fact many times more conscientious and efficient than male entrepreneurs. The bad news is that they don’t enter the workforce or entrepreneurship for reasons beyond their control e.g. marriage and the need to be the caretakers for in laws, having kids and no child care support, commute time being too long, eating into family time leading to family resistance.”
Sunita agrees: “A lot is changing in terms of entrepreneurial ideas moving online which gives women the option to work flexi hours and if needed, from home, etc.”

There are entrepreneurs who know they have business in their blood and then there are accidental entrepreneurs. Falling in the latter category, doctor-turned-entrepreneur Sunita Maheshwari.

There is a surfeit of Indian doctors globally, but we have a shortage of doctors within India: Dr. Sunita Maheshwari
Today, there is a hospital at every block; various diagnostic center across the country and yet the training of radiologists has not kept up with this. If you look at a country like Singapore – we started working with the Singapore government in the year 2005 – they at that time had 70 radiologists. There was a huge shortage of radiologists reading to diagnostics which would come back in 3 to 5 days later. In the last 12 years, the Singapore government has increased the training and presently they have 475 radiologists.
“India has 450 medical colleges and trains about 52,000 MBBS students every year and yet, we have a huge shortage. The Planning Commission estimates that there is a shortage of six lakh doctors. We have only eight lakh doctors for a population of 1.3 billion and growing. Why is it that we have this skill gap?”
