Reliability of smartphone-based teleradiology for evaluating thoracolumbar spine fractures

Timely interpretation of CT scans is of paramount importance in diagnosing and managing spinal column fractures, which can be devastating. Out-of-hospital, on-call spine surgeons are often asked to evaluate CT scans of patients who have sustained trauma to the thoracolumbar spine to make diagnosis and to determine the appropriate course of urgent treatment. Capturing radiographic scans and video clips from computer screens and sending them as instant messages has become a common means of communication between physicians, aiding in triaging and transfer decision-making in orthopedic and neurosurgical emergencies.
