• Over the past 20 years, Indian teleradiology firms have been providing services to foreign nations, despite the shortage of radiologists in India. 

• This has helped to understand and bring home the necessary tools and infrastructure to provide high-quality teleradiology services in the country.

• There is a growing trend of hospitals outsourcing their radiology services to teleradiology firms, reflecting the challenges of hiring and maintaining radiologists at a competitive wage. 

• A healthy balance between services meeting India's requirements and those serving other nations must be maintained.

• Training for technicians in the teleradiology workflow is closely related to the quality requirements of teleradiology. 

• It may be necessary to provide them with training to fill in gaps in service engineers' availability to handle minor troubleshooting duties related to the teleradiology process and equipment.

• However, AI can improve image quality and shorten scan times, distinguish between normal and abnormal chest X-rays, and identify specific diseases with high accuracy. 

• AI can also help with common imaging procedures in general care, such as mammography, CT brain, obstetric ultrasound, and chest X-rays.

• The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms into the diagnostic workflow represents paradigm shifts in healthcare delivery in the future.
