چکیده
Teleradiology is largely and successfully implemented all over the world. Videoconferencing, telemedical education, teleconsultations, teleradiology, telesurgery and telepresence during surgical procedures are just some of the many telemedical applications in use today. The TeleOrto Centre of Excellence in Warsaw, Poland, not only applies telediagnostic and teleeducational technologies, but also makes use of telerehabilitation to support orthopaedic treatment. This innovative and inexpensive technology has proven to be an effective telemedical tool.
