Abstract: A teleradiology processing system comprises a central reading station having a plurality of computer work areas, a plurality of transcriptionist stations each having a transcriptionist computer and a shared audio communication channel that facilitates audio communication between the central reading station and each of the transcriptionist stations. A database stores a plurality of medical case files, where the database is accessible by each of the plurality of transcriptionist computers. In operation, each transcriptionist computer takes control of a uniquely assigned one of the plurality of computer work areas of the central reading station to provide information from a pre-fetched medical case. Moreover, each transcriptionist computer prepares a report based upon a received code transmitted to the corresponding transcriptionist station over the shared audio communication channel. Each report, once approved by the specialist at the central reading station, is written to the database.

In operation, each transcriptionist computer takes control of a uniquely assigned one of the plurality of computer work areas to provide information from a pre-fetched medical case. Moreover, each transcriptionist computer prepares a report based upon the medical case file and a tech sheet containing a measurement of at least one feature of a medical image. Each report, once approved by the specialist at the centralized teleradiology location, is written to the database.
