Although this is a reliable and thus functional method, the legal basis remains unclear. This is not a teleradiology method since the European X-ray Ordinance stipulates specific workstations for viewing and diagnostics.

The European X-ray Ordinance (for radiation protection) is referring to radiation protection and not to specific quality of diagnostic workstations for teleradiology.
