This emphasizes the potential use of iPad as an aid for improving image workflow and communication between physicians and radiologists in hospital settings thereby enhancing utilization of imaging resources and efficient patient management.

iPad's potential extends well beyond image visualization due to its high-image resolution and wireless connectivity. The development of an iPad-based application, RadStream, attempts to enhance connectivity by providing a platform for instant transfer of patient images at the point of care to the physician’s mobile application. It also provides real time communication between the referring physician and radiologist such that urgent findings alerts, updates on patient status, discussion or consultation and messages or telephone tags can be facilitated.
