Telecardiology, Remote Cardiology, Mobile EKG, Cardiac Imaging Reporting, ECG (EKG) Interpretations And Echo Reading Services
NDI cardiologists use digital information and communication technologies to provide remote cardiology coverage for hospitals, emergency departments, urgent care centers and other healthcare facilities that deal with disorders of the heart and the cardiovascular system.
National Diagnostic Imaging provides telecardiology services, cardiac imaging interpretations, mobile EKG reporting services, remote cardiology reading services and echocardiogram (echocardiography) reading services in the USA.
Accurate, Reliable And Timely Cardiac Imaging Reporting Services
In 2022, the National Diagnostic Imaging teleradiology company provides remote cardiology services in the U.S. by using cardiology workstations, HIPAA compliant PACS software, high-speed Internet connections, telecommunications systems and online databases. Cardiovascular imaging includes several methods to take pictures of the heart and surrounding anatomy.
Cardiology imaging and diagnostic workstations that support most imaging modalities provide unique tools for analysis, segmentation, measurements, annotation, filming and exporting of clinically relevant images. Cardiac imaging refers to non-invasive imaging of the heart using ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or nuclear medicine imaging with PET or SPECT.
NDI cardiologists interpret the following studies via teleradiology and submit their findings to referring physicians via a PACS, and in some cases, by email:
- Echocardiogram
- ECG, Stress ECG
- Nuclear Stress Test (Including Stress ECG)
- Stress Echocardiogram (Including Stress ECG)
- Coronary CTA
- Cardiac MRI.
We provide interpretations for cardiologists, cardiology clinics, hospitals, private physicians, urgent care centers, internal medicine departments, cardiac surgeons and heart specialists. Cardiology image reading services and interpretations services start at $13 per study based on the imaging modality and volume.
Rates for remote echocardiography reading services start at $28 per study. NDI currently provides tele-echocardiography and remote cardiology reading services to radiology facilities all across the United States. NDI provides radiology image interpretations via teleradiology.
Remote Cardiology Services In The United States
NDI telecardiology services are used by primary care physicians to electronically share cardiac imaging studies online with NDI cardiologists who write expert ECG interpretations and deliver actionable final reports that help to save lives.The NDI telecardiology company provides remote online reporting of cardiac imaging studies of the circulatory system, cardiovascular system, heart and blood vessels.
NDI telecardiology services are a specialized version of telemedicine used by primary care physicians in the United States to help treat patients with cardiac problems.
NDI telecardiology services improve the speed, quality and cost-effectiveness of treating patients with cardiovascular disease on the primary level. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a general term that describes a disease of the heart or blood vessels.

How NDI Cardiologists Diagnose Heart Disease Online
NDI cardiologists use a PACS workstation to interpret results from patient cardiac imaging studies, diagnostic radiology exams and diagnostic medical imaging tests.
PACS is used in cardiology departments. Cardiology has unique requirements; these needs come in the form of capturing sound, certain cardiac measurements, and structured cardiac catheter laboratory (cath-lab) and echocardiography laboratory reporting. Cath-lab and echo are the chief modalities that are connected to a cardiology PACS. Others include cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac computer tomography (CT). Cardiology PACS uses information produced by these 4 modalities.
Echocardiography, including stress echocardiography, can provide the required clinical information and avoids radiation exposure.
Cardiac MRI studies are ordered by a patient’s cardiologist as an adjunct to other imaging modalities when further clarification is warranted. Cardiac MRI is an advanced imaging test used to obtain detailed views of the heart.
Once a cardiac image is generated, PACS is used to transfer that digital image to a computer network that will store the image and display the image for physicians. Learn more about PACS, computer networks and teleradiology in this PDF.
A picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is a high-speed, graphical, computer network system for the storage, recovery, and display of diagnostic radiological images.
NDI radiologists use PACS to diagnose heart disease, to dictate their findings and critical results, to write and sign their final radiology report and to deliver their conclusions in PDF format via teleradiology.
Cardiac imaging providers and treating physicians use high speed Internet connections to transmit pictures of a patient’s heart to the National Diagnostic Imaging PACS system.
Many different tests are used to diagnose heart disease. Besides blood tests and a chest X-ray, tests to diagnose heart disease can include:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). An ECG is a quick and painless test that records the electrical signals in the heart. It can tell if the heart is beating too fast or too slowly.
- Holter monitoring. A Holter monitor is a portable ECG device that’s worn for a day or more to record the heart’s activity during daily activities. This test can detect irregular heartbeats that aren’t found during a regular ECG exam.
- Echocardiogram. This noninvasive exam uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart in motion. It shows how blood moves through the heart and heart valves. An echocardiogram can help determine if a valve is narrowed or leaking.
- Exercise tests or stress tests. These tests often involve walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while the heart is monitored. Exercise tests help reveal how the heart responds to physical activity and whether heart disease symptoms occur during exercise. If you can’t exercise, you might be given medications.
- Cardiac catheterization. This test can show blockages in the heart arteries. A long, thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted in a blood vessel, usually in the groin or wrist, and guided to the heart. Dye flows through the catheter to arteries in the heart. The dye helps the arteries show up more clearly on X-ray images taken during the test.
- Heart (cardiac) CT scan. In a cardiac CT scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped machine. An X-ray tube inside the machine rotates around your body and collects images of your heart and chest.
- Heart (cardiac) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. A cardiac MRI uses a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of the heart.
NDI Cardiologists Collaborate Online With Other Doctors
NDI cardiologists use teleradiology to receive radiological patient images 24/7 that are shared online by other radiologists and physicians.
Treating physicians use NDI telecardiology services to order and receive cardiac imaging study final reports written by NDI imaging cardiologists that are delivered in PDF format.
NDI cardiologists interpret cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies and state their cardiac MRI findings in reports that are provided online to healthcare providers and patients.
