Tele-Radiology

Pioneering Remote Radiology

Tele-Radiology is a modality of telemedicine that facilitates rapid and accurate diagnostic imaging by securely transmitting patient medical images to board-certified radiologists at a remote location. Through this system, medical institutions can overcome geographical limitations and maintain 24-hour access to expert diagnostic services. It not only accelerates decision-making in emergency and underserved areas but also supports cost-effective collaboration among healthcare providers through integrated PACS and AI-assisted interpretation workflows. Ultimately, tele-radiology plays a vital role in bridging regional medical gaps and strengthening the cooperative network of hospitals and imaging centers.

Polestar Healthcare, the Frontrunner in Remote Medical Image Interpretation

Polestar Healthcare pioneered the remote healthcare service sector in Korea in August 2000, initiating a new era in the domestic medical imaging tele-reading market. Through the 21st Century Radiology Clinic and affiliated practices, we deliver high-quality remote interpretation services to healthcare institutions nationwide, ensuring medical professionals and patients receive prompt and precise diagnostic support.

Service Overview

Tele-Radiology Service involves transmitting medical images—such as X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)—via computer networks to remote Radiologists for diagnostic support. This system enables medical facilities to offer swift and accurate diagnostic services to their patients.
