“…The majority of the previous studies have focused on specific aspects of teleradiology, such as image compression algorithms 8-20 , transmission rates and architecture 5,21 , ergonomics, patient management and practical/economic/legal aspects 22,23 , but, to our knowledge, none of them assessed teleradiology user interface in MR of MS patients. This paper focuses on the last of these aspects, aiming to assess the quantification of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in brain magnetic resonance (MR) studies using the above-mentioned teleradiology system, in comparison with that of a professional DICOM viewer.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the image display of a web-based teleradiology system that uses a common web browser and has no need of proprietary applets, plug-ins, or dedicated software for DICOM display. The teleradiology system (TS) is connected to the Internet by ADSL and to radiological modalities using the DICOM standard with TCP/IP. Images were displayed on a PC through Internet connection with the remote TS using a common web browser. MS lesion number and volume in T1- and T2-weighted images (T1w and T2w, respectively) of 30 brain MR studies were quantified using both the TS and a conventional software. Wilcoxon signed ranks test and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to assess the variability and concordance between intra- and inter-observer and TS and conventional DICOM viewer, setting significance at p < 0.05. No significant differences in T1w and T2w volumes between the TS and the conventional software were found by either operator. The ICC results showed a high level of inter-operator agreement in volume estimation in T1w and T2w images using the two systems. Quantitative assessment of MS lesion volumes in T1w and T2w images with a user interface of a teleradiology system that allows the consultation by means of a common web browser, without the need for proprietary plug-ins, applets, or dedicated software for DICOM display showed no significant differences from, and almost complete agreement with, conventional DICOM viewers.

“…Man versteht darunter die elektronische Übertragung von Bildmaterial über eine räumliche Distanz, die mit dem Ziel einer Konsultation oder Befundung verknüpft ist [6,7,8]. Nach der Röntgen-verordnung schließt der Begriff Teleradiologie lediglich die Durchführung und Befundung einer Untersuchung ein, bei der der verantwortliche Radiologe nicht am Ort der technischen Durchführung prä-sent ist [9].…”

“…Als Hauptursachen für die zunehmende Etablierung der Teleradiologie seit den 70er Jahren (die auch zunehmend von der EU gefördert wird [8]) werden in der Literatur v. a. ein regionaler Mangel an Radiologen und wirtschaftliche Aspekte genannt [5]. So kann insbesondere zu Nachtzeiten für ein Krankenhaus in einem Bereich mit geringer Bevölkerungsdichte die Beschäftigung eines eigenen Radiologen aufgrund der zu erwartenden geringen Anzahl an angeforderten radiologischen Maßnahmen unwirtschaftlich sein.…”

For the connection of several partners to a Dicom-e-mail based teleradiology network concepts were developed to allow the integration of different teleradiology applications. The organisational and technical needs for such an integration were analysed. More than 60 institutions including 23 hospitals in the Rhein-Neckar-Region, Germany were connected. The needed functionality was grouped in six teleradiology applications (emergency consultation, tele-guided examinations, expert consultations, cooperative work, scientific cooperations and homework with on call services) and their technical and organisational needs according to availability, speed of transfer, workflow definitions and data security needs was analysed. For the local integration of teleradiology services the setup and workflow is presented for a standalone teleradiology workstation and a server based teleradiology gateway. The line type needed for different groups of applications and users is defined. The security concept and fallback strategies are laid out, potential security problems and sources of errors are discussed. The specialties for the emergency teleradiology application are presented. The DICOM-e-mail protocol is a flexible and powerful protocol that can be used for a variety of teleradiology applications. It can meet the conditions for emergency applications but is limited if synchronous applications like teleconferences are needed.
