Medical-legal issues in teleradiology.

With the advent of high-speed, high-resolution digital imaging and network transmission, teleradiology promises to dramatically change the mechanism for interpreting radiologic images and the traditional relationships between radiologists and patients and referring physicians. We discuss the current status of medical-legal issues pertaining to privacy, licensing, credentialing, liability, and fraud for teleradiology. Special emphasis is placed on the technical factors that may result in differences in image properties, consequently affect radiologic diagnosis, and bring the potential for liability.
