Abstract
To show the feasibility of wireless pocket teleradiology, brain computed tomography scan images of five neurosurgical emergency cases were received on a pocket computer via a wireless modem link. Viewing times from turning on the pocket computer to viewing the entire image ranged from 4 to 6 minutes. The quality of the images was satisfactory. Reliability in obtaining a wireless internet connection was good, but not perfect. Wireless pocket telemedicine devices carried by specialists may improve the ability of telemedicine systems to gain access to the expertise of specialists.
