“…Pallamar et al, found uncompressed digital mammograms can be transmitted to different institutions with different workstations, without loss of information. Thus, evaluation of the transferred data does not significantly affect image quality, lesion detection, or BI-RADS rating ( Fruehwald-Pallamar et al, 2013 ). However, internet and energy infra-structure of the country is for sure would be an important issue before implementation of such system.…”

Screening via mammography is a complex process to be implemented. Objective: To report the initial results and the effectiveness of newly implemented Turkey's population based breast cancer screening program performed for 40–69 years old women; and effectiveness of the newly implemented out-sourcing mobile trucks and national central report center. The study is conducted prospectively in one year (March 2016–March 2017) in all 81 provinces of Turkey. Mammography images were transferred via on-line web based system to the central reporting center. BI-RADS Scores and KETEM models (Mobile vs. Stationary) were the parameters were compared. In total mammography images of 414.802 patients were transferred from 155 KETEMs to the central reporting center. From these patients; 95.872 (23,1%) were aged between 40 and 44. Among all images, 21.999 (5,3%) were BI-RADS 0-4-5, 391.123 (94,3%) were BI-RADS 1–2. Totally recall rate of the national reporting center was 5.3%. Number of patients screened per day were significantly higher in out-sourcing mobile trucks compared to stationary KETEMs (31.8 vs. 8.9; p < 0.05). This is the first and the largest breast cancer screening study which results of a population based mammography screening for 40–69 years old women are evaluated at the same time with the evaluation of the efficacy of newly implemented centralized reporting center and the mobile screening trucks in comparison with stationary cancer screening centers. According to the initial results; Turkey's newly implemented population based breast cancer screening system seems to be feasible and effective.

Introduction: Radiology was founded on a technological discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. Teleradiology also had its roots in technology dating back to 1947 with the successful transmission of radiographic images through telephone lines. Diagnostic radiology has become the eye of medicine in terms of diagnosing and treating injury and disease. This article documents the empirical foundations of teleradiology. Methods: A selective review of the credible literature during the past decade (2005-2015) was conducted, using robust research design and adequate sample size as criteria for inclusion. Findings: The evidence regarding feasibility of teleradiology and related information technology applications has been well documented for several decades. The majority of studies focused on intermediate outcomes, as indicated by comparability between teleradiology and conventional radiology. A consistent trend of concordance between the two modalities was observed in terms of diagnostic accuracy and reliability. Additional benefits include reductions in patient transfer, rehospitalization, and length of stay.
