Teleradiology and technology innovations in radiology: status in India and its role in increasing access to primary health care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an inequitable distribution of radiology facilities in India. This scoping review aimed at mapping the available technology instruments to improve access to imaging at primary health care; to identify the facilitators and barriers, and the knowledge gaps for widespread adaptation of technology solutions.

Methods

A search was conducted using broad inclusive terms non-specific to subtypes of medical imaging devices or informatics. Work published in the English language between 2005 and 2022, conducted primarily in India, and with full manuscripts were included. Two authors independently screened the abstracts against the inclusion criteria for full-text review and a senior author settled discrepancies. Data were extracted using DistillerSR software.
