Abstrakt: Radiologist shortages and lack of access to radiology services are common issues in low- and middle-income countries around the world. Teleradiology offers radiologists an opportunity to contribute to global health and support hospital systems in low-resource regions remotely. Challenges can occur when determining how to integrate the new remote worklist, how radiologists will view and report exams, and how a US host site can ensure safety and privacy across the different systems. In this manuscript, we describe our experience integrating exams performed at a remote hospital system in Ethiopia into a routine radiology worklist in the USA.
