<jats:p> A wireless system for radiological subspecialist consultation based on a portable personal computer and a GSM cellular phone was tested. A link with secure access to the hospital image network was built. A total of 68 emergency computerized tomography CT examinations were transmitted. Transmission time via GSM for a single CT image was 1 min and for a complete head scan was 18 min. The transmitted images were acceptable for final diagnosis in 72 of the cases, the rest being acceptable for preliminary diagnosis. The diagnosis from the transmitted images did not change after a later review of the original images in 97 of cases. The wireless link saved a hospital visit by the senior radiologist in 24 of cases. The results show that a remote consultation link can be built with readily available technology and that the technique is useful in radiological subspecialist consultations for CT images. </jats:p>
