title: [Teleradiology - update 2014].
abstract: Due to economic considerations and thanks to technological advances there is a growing interest in the integration of teleradiological applications into the regular radiological workflow. The legal and technical hurdles which are still to be overcome are being discussed in politics as well as by national and international radiological societies. The European Commission as well as the German Federal Ministry of Health placed a focus on telemedicine with their recent eHealth initiatives. The European Society of Radiology (ESR) recently published a white paper on teleradiology. In Germany §3 section 4 of the Röntgenverordnung (RöV, X-ray regulations) and DIN 6868-159 set a framework in which teleradiology can also be used for primary reads. These possibilities are already being used by various networks and some commercial providers across Germany. With regards to cross-border teleradiology, which currently stands in contrast to the RöV, many issues remain unsolved.
