Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Teleradiology involves transmitting medical images over long distances, often between different healthcare facilities. To accomplish this, a wide area network (WAN) is typically used to connect the facilities and send the images. HIS (hospital information system) and DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) are used to store and manage medical images, but they are not used to transmit them between facilities. LAN (local area network) is used within a single facility and would not be sufficient for transmitting images over long distances.
