Remote Expert
Remote Expert is the complementary component of Breeze making it a unique teleradiology
solution when used in conjunction with PACSWeb
Remote Expert allows a greater coverage of radiological care by making radiological interpretation or
consultation possible for medical centers, remote or underserved areas, seeking expert opinion or requiring
subspecialty consultation.
It achieves this through consultation requests which are registered by remote center physicians. Following the request
registration, the required DICOM file s are transferred from the Remote Center to the Expert Center so that
Medical Specialists (Radiologists, Nuclear Medicine Specialists, Cardiologists etc.) can view and evaluate them.
