With more electronics in our lives, there are multiple chances of you putting kinds of implants/ Microchips devices in your body. Also some accidents or injuries  make foreign bodies enter our body and stay in there for several months or even years. There are several other reasons for unidentified body to enter, so are the challenges in getting rid of them. You need to tell your Surgeon where exactly is the location of the suspected body. Then you turn towards radiology to get an answer wherein the MRI/CT scanning technique needs to use a proper marker .

From a medical perspective, foreign bodies could be removed only if there is a reactive inflammatory process. If so radiologist can see inflammatory processes clearly and job is easy. But what if you dont have an inflation but feeling pain or unusual sensation suspected due to implant or injury. You initiate MRI/CT scanning then. Pre-scan stage, MRI marker becomes important.

Usually the procedure is>> a Marker is placed on the surface during MRI / CT scanning at the site of Maximum pain / tenderness / area of interest. There are different types of Markers available in market. Most commonly used in MRI are Vitamin D capsules, which are cheap and easily available.So that Radiologist knows where to focus for abnormality.

During second opinion process, it is very important to get answer from patients if any such marker was placed during scan or not.

Moreover things might be complex, if one doe not know the nature of foreign body, where and how deep it was implanted initially? For some reasons, sometimes such bodies get absorbed in the body , some micro-devices are occult on MRI imaging. That means not seen in MRI clearly. So unless, referring doctor or patient provides detailed history of the implant, it is nearly impossible for Radiologist to think/ locate / provide information about the implant. It is like a person had hidden a thing in your house. Now it is your job to find out. Unless that person provides more and accurate information on something, you ill not able to find it identify it. If that person provides some vague info like that thing is a Toy. This will narrow down your search but still difficult to search.

You will need precise information about something like Teddy bear toy which is white in color and 5 cm height, etc ect,

Please find below the marker (Tab Vita D) used on the surface of Knee of a patient  during MRI scanning - where there was pain and tenderness. How it looks into MRI scan, please see below picture..

Teleradiologyhub places a strong emphasis on the Quality Review of all second opinions, which is an internal process that only involves the Quality Control Board (QCB). The Board may have more than one senior radiologist, and they play a vital role in ensuring the right quality second opinions generated by the Expert (s). However, the Quality Review is strictly an internal process, which means that it is not visible to the clients.

The Quality Review process is typically available for L3 and L4 Expert Panels, depending on the budget allocated per case. The Quality Control Board (QCB) is responsible for ensuring that the Quality Review process is carried out efficiently and effectively, and that all reports are thoroughly checked for accuracy, completeness, and consistency.

1. Check if all sequences are studied: It is important to verify that all the necessary imaging sequences have been acquired and evaluated in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. This ensures that no important details are overlooked or missed during the interpretation of the images.

2. Any technical errors are present: It is important to review the images carefully for any technical errors, such as motion artifact, incomplete coverage, or poor image quality, which could affect the accuracy of the diagnosis.

3. If there are any conflicts in reporting between the two radiologists: In cases where multiple radiologists have interpreted the same imaging studies, it is important to identify any discrepancies or conflicts in their reports, and resolve them in order to arrive at a more accurate diagnosis.

4.Are the questions or reasons for second opinion logical enough and directly connected to the case: It is important to ensure that the questions or reasons for seeking a second opinion are relevant to the case and directly related to the imaging findings. This helps to ensure that the second opinion is focused on addressing the specific diagnostic challenges posed by the case.

5. If they are framed in the report: It is important to document the questions or reasons for seeking a second opinion in the report itself, along with the radiologist's responses, in order to provide a comprehensive record of the diagnostic process and ensure that all relevant information is available for future reference.

6.  The Quality Control Board (QCB) members are selected properly: Experience Teleradiologist from Teleradiologyhub.com other than Expert Radiologist(s) who are on task studding the case in order to give the neutrality and integrity to the task.

The Second Opinion Expert Panels (L1 or L2 or L3 or L4) differ from the Resident Radiologist Panel (RRP) in the Second Opinion (SO) process. The Second Opinion Expert Panels (L1 or L2 or L3 or L4) are always defined by the senior expert of the panel who leads and only signs the report. 

The client is expected to submit the primary report at all times. If the primary report is genuinely lost or unavailable and the client requires a second opinion or provisional read report to address their concerns, the following terms apply:

1. It is crucial for clients to understand that the primary report holds significant importance from both a medico-legal standpoint and in framing a comprehensive and comparative study. Therefore, we strongly advise clients to submit their primary report to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the Second Opinion Study.

2. In the event that a primary report is not available, certain radiologists may decline to participate in the Second Opinion Study. However, in special circumstances, a provisional read report (PRR) that mimics a Second Opinion may be commissioned solely to provide the client with confidence. It is important to note that this report will not challenge the primary report, as it will be based solely on limited imaging data and limited online clinical history provided by the client, including information on surgeries, infections, diseases, investigations, clinical complications, and other related factors.

3. Limited clinical interactions in physical proximity may result in undue radiology impressions and/or omissions of certain findings in the given report. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the client to clarify any doubts by asking two specific questions after downloading the PRR from the portal. Please note that there will be no refunds issued once Expert panel is assigned the case.Ensuring accuracy and completeness of radiology reports is vital to making accurate diagnoses.

4. The evaluation of the PRR is considered final only after the panel answers the client's two questions on the portal. The client's report review (positive or negative) via WhatsApp or email can help improve future cases.

5. It is essential to note that clients must not seek a second opinion to correct or mend or invite any legal or surgical consequences. Furthermore, there shall be no remedy nor any claim of liability for insufficiencies or omissions after receiving the final Second Opinion Report or Provisional Read Report (PRR) taken from experts on TeleradiologyHub. Clients must read the Second Opinion: Terms & Conditions (teleradiologyhub.com) to understand these conditions.

6. These terms and conditions are applicable even if not confirmed by the client in knowing or unknowing situations.

AT TeleradiologyHub, we have a diligent and a process approach to cater to a review of your MRI or CT Scan or other radiological studies. Our second-opinion process starts with your uploading of the Diagnostic Data and your clinical history. The most important part is reasoni for second opinion, that usually sets the direction of focused enhanced and comparative study. Most of the times, it requires us to assist you in curating the data in shape. RRP accesses the dignostic details, clinical history, your complaints and prepares review framework. Later the case is handed over to Experts/Senior Panel. But in between or after RRP can decline to provide second opinion as expected  earlier.

There several reasons to do so. 

What is a code DECLINE_SO?

When the code DECLINE_SO is triggered, ithe process of second opinion is suspended . Subsequently, TeleradiologyHub  Panel withdraws from review process.  Second-Opinion/Terms-Conditions are applicable in all cases. Following reason(s) areenought to trigger the above code:

D1. Dicom Images provided are of inferior quality and  low resolution
D2. The primary report is not made available, whereas Panel thinks its crucial for review process
D3. Fees payment delayed or  related Issues
D4. The clinical history is not privided and the client is not reachable on the call
D5. Insignificant or unrelated queries asked/ Behaviour non acceptable
D6. Expectinging cross results from MRI or CT images or vice versa
D7. Queries related to physiological changes  or clinical aspects involved in opinion making
D8. Dicom image folder misses the sequence to which the second opinion query is linked
D9. Misc reasons due to unexplainable hygiene factors
D10. Experts think, the expectations are untenable
D11. Time taken is long due to accidental reasons
D12. Expert drops the study for unknown  reasons

CODE has following consequences:
-Second Opinion Process stops. 
-Any action that is regarded as appropriate by the Panel
-You can have an appeal to Panel 
-Either full or part of the payment is returned back ( As set in Second-Opinion/Terms-Conditions )

Most of the times, the cases in medical field require triangulation of the opinion. There could be different interpretations of the same studies, therefore doctors discretion is advised. None of the reviews are final but better jugged.  That means, if you or your consultant still carry a doubt, it necessitates further opinions triggering more enhanced reading by bigger panel  More opinions help you or your consultant to look the same case from different perspective- assures you that you are more informed.

The radiology opinions are not standard yardstick to measure the state of health, even if they are accurate. Clinically checked opinions have better advantage over such opinions, therefore we do not advice the reviews for legal purpose- it will have no sanctity in the courts of law  nor even in case of disputes.

When?
The RRP engages with your clinical and diagnostic data once you have put them on the portal. They reference it and make it ready for expert ot see it. But an expert can only be selected upon your consent and payment of review fees, the early the better. This helps us to deliver you result faster.

8. The responsibility of communication is with client. In this virtual environment, we do not claim reliability or identity of both sides including data integrity. We work in the best interest of the Dignostic outcomes. In case of data insufficiency or radiologists are not convinced with the case parameters, they can retract from the case. There should not be overdependence on second opinion as clinical findings have greater importance.

9. Any paid consultation session would be max 15 min.

10. The Client has to cooperate with RRP (Resident Radiologist Panel) on request for recall, new data demand and additional payments if any. There are different situations, like at times when a Single Second Opinion request  actually warrants multiple studies. Because of different experts from category radiologist chosen, the fees would be in multiple of studies undertaken. Every study is charged differently by experts. There might be also situation when RRP is satisfied to recall of given opinion  in the wake of new insight or data or experts analysis or anything else. This is helpful to client as RRP will then submit the improved opinion.  Also read special situation: Terms of Engagement for Provisional Read Report (PRR) when Client provides No Primary Report (teleradiologyhub.com)

Panel Process 
The Resident-Radiologist-Panel (RRP) downloads, arranges and references your case in the light of your reason for second opinion. The panel undertakes preliminary study and finds right Expert. The panel pushes for essential  'Enhanced & Comparative' study hence your primary reports are important. Depending on the complexity of the case, an expert provides a signed report within 8-20 hours those are additional reviewed by Panel before uploading on portal.At this stage, if you are not happy with the opinion, you can ask for bigger bench review. This would require bench fees.3-D Model of the subject can be provided seperately. This requires to enrage the experts therefore expect additional fees. Resident-Radiologist-Panel can recall Experts opinion in the wake of new insight or obvious omissions or new findings or hidden data or reverse analysis or anything else. It helps you or improves outcomes. 

Expert selection
All listed 300+ radiologists are capable of providing 'second opinion' on radiology studies. We ensure their proficiency with trial 'high level cases'. We also document their categorical reporting quality on ongoing projects and also gauge their experience in a typical areas related to your study or publications. Apart from quality recommendations, every work of radiologists is reviewed. Please note that Resident-Radiologist-Panel (RRP) deal with documentations and selection of an expert. We may call you to understand your requirements like budget constraints or surgery issues. Some cases are uniquely complicated, that requires multiple investigations. Hence panel discusses the case and may like to engage multiple Experts.  The panel is for you, please help them to help you!!

* Fees for individual MRI or CT study can vary from Euro 50 to Euro 399. The fees depend on experience of Radiologist(s), their affiliate Board, their availability and the case nature. Fees also  varies with quality images , timings and need of multiple experts.

All opinions are written and signed documents. Your cooperation is requested..

1. Please avoid negotiations. All second opinion cases are monitored by panel in real time even if it is late in night. They finish several tasks like case referencing, due-diligence, follow-up, data storage & transfer support, requisitions, language support, communication, pursuing Experts, etc. Overall case management is quite a serious task that consumes a good resources - at times more than given budget. 
2. Please provide primary report always. In the absence of primary reports, it will not be a second opinion study, it will be again a primary study but under changed times and under the lack of fresh clinical impressions. Hence it unnecessarily requires Panel discretion in studying an old imaging protocol undertaken at the request of (unknown) Consultant opinion. In such cases, contradictions cant be ruled out.
3. Please ask clear and right questions. For more than TWO questions, report can be sent to a consultation group (PCG). It is short of asking for another review.
4. Please allow more time.  Ordinary channel of second opinion takes good hours to conduct research on case, more hours for more complex studies.  If you are ready to pay more for faster research and invite more seniors to study your case and/or make it more attractive for expert to engage, you may try express channel. In this case, experts might hold off his other activities and prioritise your case..
5. Please provide right Data.  If panel finds data insufficient, the second opinion study can not go ahead as planned until the data is made available. It can happen at any stage.
6.Consent & Medical Proof. To get the second opinion, we have to share your data with the concerned experts, therefore, you should be prepared for an automatic consent. Please let us know if you have any concerns before you paid the fees. The objective of second opinion is to seek alternative view from different experts in a way to  triage the findings- based on  primary opinion. There could be deviations in opinion- nothing right or wrong in served opinions. The clinical examinations are utmost necessary hence second opinions are not suitable as medical proof and can not be produced  in the court of law.  More Second-Opinion/Terms-Conditions.

• may not have tracking system for scans and reports during and after the scan process
• may not have personal assistance to provide extra inputs on your reports
• may not have self-learning options to rate a radiologists or provide a feedback
• may not have a system for seeking second opinion
