Not only the doctor but diagnosis also is now just a call away - telemedication enables ECGs to be transmitted over telephones and opinions taken from doctors abroad. By transmitting data ranging from simple x-rays to advanced angiograms, magnetic resonance images (cell-by-cell scanning of an organ) and microscopic images through a computer, a doctor sitting abroad can diagnose a patient in India and suggest treatment likewise.
