The concept of Teleradiology

What is teleradiology? “A teleradiology system acquires radiographic images

at one location and transmits them to one or more remote sites, where they are displayed and/or converted to hard copy.”

Batnitzky, S., et al., Teleradiology: an assessment1990

Introduction

The basic paradigm hasn’t change

The concept of Teleradiology

What has changed then? Technology Security measures (HIPAA) DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication on

Medicine)

Introduction

Basic common (today’s) Teleradiology System

6

The concept of Teleradiology

Data exchanged: Usually is inject in the system from inside the

hospital/clinic Requested by external means (telephone, mail, e-mail) Stored on a Database outside the hospital/clinic

Nowadays we can do better…

PROBLEMS THAT DIFFICULT

TELERADIOLOGY SOLUTIONS

Security and ConfidentialityProblems that difficult Teleradiology solutions

If the paradigm hasn’t change we still have to face the same principals: Hospitals/clinics maintain secured networks Information is sent through the Internet Information must always be secured Information is usually stored on a external environment

Single point of attack can result in mass illegal retrieve of data

What can we do then?

Security and ConfidentialityProblems that difficult Teleradiology solutions

Store securely the data to be displayed

Images need to be sent through secure channels

Firewalls protecting Hospital’s networks

Physician needs to be authenticated

Trust the agent that sends data to the outside

PROPOSED SYSTEM’S ARCHITECTURE

Web Tele-Medicine Platform

Page 11: Web Tele-Medicine Platform

11

Proposed System’s ArchitectureWeb Tele-Medicine Platform

Implementation of a automated PACS broker:DICOM Gateway

Non DICOM normalized Queries

Physician authenticated using Single Sign-on principle

Page 12: Web Tele-Medicine Platform

Proposed System’s ArchitectureWeb Tele-Medicine Platform

Authentication: All the components that are in the flow of data must be

authenticated before any data is exchanged Gateways Physicians

Single Sign-On principle

Confidentiality: Assured by exchanging tokens before any sensitive

data is really needed The flow of data is done in secured connections

HTTPS

Proposed System’s ArchitectureWeb Tele-Medicine Platform

PACS Virtualization Through web page

Different uses for the same system: Sharing cases and remote access PACS Sharing cases anonymously

By using image temporary tokens

Future WorkWeb Tele-Medicine Platform

Future work: Implement the DICOM Gateways Implement a web page Implement authentication mechanisms…

To sum up, code the studied theory and architecture
