Telognosis, or the interpretation of facsimile roentgenograms obtained from distant sources by telephone or radio,1 has been used continuously since 1947. Following the initial trial of this system between Chester County Hospital, West Chester, Pa., and Philadelphia, a circuit was established over busy commercial telephone channels between the Ventnor Clinic in Atlantic City, N. J., and Philadelphia, a distance of 60 miles (100 km.). This circuit has been tested continuously during the past year to determine whether a full-time roentgenologic service could be maintained, and to explore this method of teaching radiologists in training.The apparatus consists of a transmitter that scans roentgenograms of any size up to 14 by 17 in. (35.6 by 43.2 cm.). The receiver reproduces facsimiles reduced to half the size of the original films. Consultations and reports of the x-ray findings are made over the same telephone circuit employed for sending the facsimiles and |
