Popis:	We report our 11/2-year experience with 24-hour consulting teleradiology coverage between a rural hospital and a tertiary care center. During this period, 215 studies were transmitted over a T-1 telephone line from Barnesville Hospital to Ohio State Hospital Medical Center. We interpreted 116 computed tomographic studies, of which 64 were head, 31 abdominal, 6 chest, 3 spinal, and 12 miscellaneous CT studies. We also interpreted 26 chest x-rays, 12 cervical spine series, 43 skeletal radiographs, 9 ultrasound studies, 7\(\dot V/\dot Q\) scans, and 2 venograms. Comparison of digital to film interpretations demonstrated agreement in 211 of 215 cases, for a ratio of 98.1%.
