Online radiology service expands patient access in the Middle East

MT. LAUREL, NJ -- Outsourced radiology solutions provider USARAD.com, XMRI.com and WorldRad.com, has partnered with Egypt-based Telemed Providers to promote the services of its subsidiaries, XMRI.com and WorldRad.com, throughout the Middle East.

XMRI.com is a medical imaging second opinion service that enables patients to directly obtain expert reading on imaging exams over the Internet. It uses a fully automated Radiology-On-Demand? platform for easy upload of all imaging modalities. These are then interpreted by USARAD.com’s network of board certified fellowship-trained sub-specialty radiologists. WORLDRAD.com is the company’s international division. The subsidiary provides professional teleradiology services

Telemedproviders.com is a similar Internet-based company that provides sub-specialty teleradiology exam interpretation for imaging providers and other physicians in geographic areas in need of physicians with this high level of specialized training.

“Many areas of the Middle East are struggling with the same severe shortage of radiologists, particularly sub-specialists, as was the U.S. some time ago. Patients may wait weeks for the results of an imaging exam. Telemedproviders.com is committed to filling the gap with the most advanced services and technology. This new partnership to promote XMRI.com and WORLDRAD.com will enable them to deliver a more robust solution with a greater range of physicians than before. Telemedproviders.com has had a long term presence in this area and enjoys a reputation of top-of-the-line medical care,” says Michael Yuz, MD, MBA, CEO of USARAD.com and all its subsidiaries.
