Background and Purpose• ResolutionMD mobile application runs on a Smartphone and affords vascular neurologists access to radiological images of patients with stroke from remote sites in the context of a telemedicine evaluation.
• Although reliability studies using this technology have been conducted in a controlled environment, this study is the first to incorporate it into a real‐world hub and spoke telestroke network.
• The study objective was to assess the level of agreement of brain CT scan interpretation in a telestroke network between hub vascular neurologists using ResolutionMD, spoke radiologists using a Picture Archiving and Communications System, and independent adjudicators.
