Abstract
The functionality of many teleradiology systems is limited to image transfer to a remote workstation. It is not possible to access reports or images from older studies, or to create new reports of current cases. Additionally, teleradiology systems from different vendors are usually not interoperable. Future teleradiology systems should provide bi-directional image transfer as well as image annotation, the possibility to create and send back text reports, and access to previous reports. Furthermore, it becomes increasingly important that teleradiology systems are conformant to the DICOM standard. The advanced teleradiology service (ATS) is compatible to the DICOM standard and is based on the functional model of the standard. In addition to receiving current images which is straightforward, the ATS supports retrieving of correlative images, studies and reports. One further feature of ATS is the review of images which is supported with flexible image compression to keep the demand for bandwidth minimal. Additionally, creating and modifying multimedia results is supported. The multimedia results are based on 'Structured Reporting' (SR) which is a supplement of the DICOM standard. SR offers a mechanism to represent results for many fields of application in medicine. The types of documents supported by SR range from simple text descriptions to multimedia interpretation reports. For this reason it is important to evaluate scenarios and to define the requirements of SR in the radiological environment. The definition of ATS is intended to provide a tested reference architecture for teleradiology to which vendors can adhere in order to develop teleradiology systems with DICOM 'plug and play' capability.
