Röntgensiirtojen

Röntgensiirtojen, a Finnish term, translates to "X-ray transmissions" or "X-ray transfers" in English. It refers to the process of sending or sharing radiographic images, commonly known as X-rays, from one location to another. This can occur between different healthcare facilities, between a radiologist and a referring physician, or for patient consultation purposes. Historically, this involved physically transporting film, but with the advent of digital radiography and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), röntgensiirtojen has largely transitioned to electronic data transfer.

The primary goal of röntgensiirtojen is to ensure that medical professionals have timely access to diagnostic imaging, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Electronic röntgensiirtojen utilizes secure network protocols to transmit large image files, often in the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format. This digital transfer facilitates efficient workflow, reduces delays, and can improve patient care by enabling rapid consultations and second opinions, regardless of geographical distance. Privacy and data security are paramount in this process, with strict regulations governing the transmission and storage of sensitive medical information.
