Abstract: The article raises the issue of how the implementation of teleradiology affects three main aspects of effectiveness: the quality of radiology, the costs of medical services and the access to medical imaging services. The teleradiology leads both to positive and negative changes in these areas. Reduction in the cost of delivering services, improvement to the access to medical care and improvement of quality of diagnosis due to medical consultations or online workshops for doctors, are the positive sides of teleradiology. On the other hand, teleradiology may lead to decreased quality of diagnosis and even hamper the development of imaging medicine. This is one of the main negative concerns, others include such matters as the cost of implementation of the teleradiological infrastructure and the international legal ramifications of remote diagnosis. The article also includes the results of a survey on how Polish radiologists perceive the pros and cons of telework.
