Abstract
Teleradiology has become a reality for several years now, but its existence still has not been freed from all controversies. From the beginning the military has been the driving force for teleradiology. Today teleradiology has many purposes worldwide ranging from services for expert or second opinions to international commercial diagnostic reading services. Ten years ago image quality, transmission speed and image compression were important issues of debate. Today the focus is on clinical governance, medico-legal issues and quality assessment. The increasing use of teleradiology reflects the changing world of clinical practice, service delivery and technology.
