India’s pioneering tele-diagnostic delivery company, Teleradiology Solutions has invested $300,000 for 3D imaging facility. The company has also partnered with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, to offer 3D post-processing services. The collaboration will enable it to open new patient care opportunities across leading hospitals not just in India but Asia and Africa.
 
The 3D images will enable physicians at the MGH to better understand patients’ disease processes and develop treatment and intervention plans in a more timely way. The day-night time difference between the US and India creates an ideal situation for the specialized 24-hour service, especially in emergency settings.
 
According to Dr. Arjun Kalyanpur, founder and CEO, Teleradiology Solutions, the project strengthens our standing within the health-tech industry and speaks volumes of our level of expertise not just in radiology but also in the stability of our entire ecosystem in terms of software, reading structures and the calibre of our radiologists.
 
“We are consistently striving to re-invent the healthcare landscape in India. As the first company to offer teleradiology in India, we have now embarked upon a relationship with MGH, one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world and the largest teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, to offer 3D post-processing services,” he added.
 
There has been increasing deployment and utilization of high-end CT and MRI scan equipment globally as well as in India, and such high resolution imaging requires effective 3D post-processing for its benefits to be most optimally realized. For instance, 3D image post-processing of aneurysms and vessel blockages that may potentially result in life threatening complications can greatly facilitate their diagnosis, treatment and subsequent follow-up of such conditions, thereby benefiting treating physicians and impacting patients, stated Dr. Kalyanpur.
 
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with TRS to enhance the diagnostic capabilities and timeliness of information that can help improve lives for patients. We hope that access to this technology can expand to providers in South Asia, as high-quality post-processing 3D imaging could have a significant impact on care – particularly emergency and trauma care – across the region,” said Dr. Gordon J Harris, director, 3D Imaging Service, Massachusetts General Hospital.
