The following article describes the legal aspects of teleradiology in Germany. At first we analyze the general significance of teleradiology in the sense of"achieving medical service over spatial distances". Next we take a closer look at teleradiology according to the German Radiation Control Law ("Deutsche Röntgenverordnung") in the sense of primary diagnostic findings. It is obvious that, apart from the Radiation Control Law, several other laws have to be obeyed when using teleradiology. Currently all of these legal requirements concerning teleradiological service can be fulfilled by applying modern IT.

The article reports a medical malpractice claim in Germany against an ophthalmologist who implanted an artificial lens without informing the patient about the risk of losing the eye's accommodation ability before undertaking surgery. As informed consent was not obtained, in spite of the obligation to so, the court ruled that the physician should pay compensation for medical malpractice. The author shows how similar malpractice cases can be prevented in future.
