What is clinical teleradiology?

Clinical teleradiology allows your clinic to send x-ray images to a qualified off-site radiologist, who then interprets the scan and returns a formal diagnostic report. This process enables:

• Medicare billing, including bulk billing where applicable

• Strong medico-legal protection for your clinic

• Faster and safer decision-making for your patients.

You can apply this system across:

• Chiropractic clinics capturing spinal x-rays

• Dental practices using OPG, CBCT or CEPH imaging

• New imaging centres needing radiologist support without hiring in-house.

How Medic Cloud helps

At Medic Cloud, we support clinics across Australia by implementing secure, compliant systems that make clinical teleradiology easy and accessible. We handle:

• Privacy Act and Health Records Act compliance

• Secure image delivery to reporting radiologists

• Teleradiology provider registration

• Complete imaging-to-reporting workflow setup and management.

Best of all, we do this at no cost to your clinic. The teleradiology provider covers our service fee.

Why radiologist reporting matters

Chiropractors and dentists know how to read x-rays but radiologists are trained to see more. While you focus on alignment, decay, or mechanical issues, radiologists identify pathology, anomalies or disease that could otherwise go undetected.

With formal radiologist reporting, you:

• Reduce personal liability

• Improve diagnostic certainty

• Qualify for bulk billing under Medicare.

Already have a radiologist? We can still help

If your centre already works with a part-time or remote radiologist, we can:

• Set up home-based reporting stations

• Enable secure remote access to your PACS/RIS

• Ensure all image archiving and transmission meets Australian standards.

Why clinical teleradiology is essential

Clinical teleradiology shares medico-legal responsibility between referrer and radiologist. More importantly, it leads to faster, more accurate diagnoses and better patient outcomes. It’s also ideal for regional or rural clinics where on-site radiologists are not available.

You’re not adding complexity. You’re simply connecting scans to diagnosis through a trusted, legally sound system.
