Teleradiology Consults: Instant Assistance Anytime You Need It

Written by Jonathon Lee, MD | June 25, 2025

A common myth about teleradiology is that radiologists are siloed, without peer support. I found the exact opposite to be true.

In this short video, hear from my colleagues how consult tools, built right into the reading platform, allow them easy, instant access to peers. So even though you’re reading from home, you’re never alone.

Our radiologists practice just like they’re in a shared reading room, but without the distractions.

 

 

3 Things You Should Know About Consults at vRad:

1. You’re never alone, with access to subspecialists 24/7/365

With more than 500 radiologists at vRad, you’ll always have access to multiple subspecialists, willing and ready to help. In just a few clicks you can connect with other vRad radiologists, anytime of the day or night.

2. Instant peer consults built right into the platform

With just a few clicks, you can connect instantly with other vRad radiologists reading at the same time, through Teams. Then send a consult request and, once accepted, the two of you can review images live, right from your respective case pages. Consult by video or phone, anytime.

3. Transfer a case that’s not right for you

If you get a study you just don’t feel comfortable with, you can easily request to transfer the case to another radiologist—no questions asked.

 

At vRad, reading remotely doesn’t mean reading alone. Built-in consults keep every radiologist connected to a nationwide team.
