Objectives To obtain an overview of teleradiology usage within Europe, to evaluate the current opinion and future vision about this technique. Methods A web-based survey targeted at active radiologists throughout Europe. Results A total of 368 radiology professionals participated in the survey. Among them 65?% currently use teleradiology. The main usages are in-house image distribution (71?%) and on-call readings from home (44?%). The major advantages are improved collaboration with other radiologists (46?%) and efficient distribution of workload (38?%). Outsourcing is performed by 35?% of the participants, among them 68?% use commercial services. The major advantages of outsourcing are availability of second opinions (82?%) and additional capacity for on-call services (71?%). The major disadvantages are insufficient integration of patient history and priors (69?%), and limited communication with clinicians (68?%). The majority expressed a positive opinion regarding the future of teleradiology (80?%) predicting a growing importance (46?%). Opportunities ought to be found in emergency reading services, flexible support of small practices and in collaborative platforms. Conclusions A wide usage of teleradiology throughout Europe is perceived; however usage of commercial services is relatively limited. Regarding cross-border services, there is a great demand for a focused Pan-European legislation, an adapted price regulation and a quality assurance framework. Main Messages -A wide variety of teleradiology applications exist in Europe -Implementation mainly occurs in countries with a high concentration of networked PACS -Usage of commercial teleradiology services in Europe is relatively limited -Language is an unsolved issue and limiting factor for further deployment of services -There is a demand for a Pan-European legislation, price regulation and quality assurance framework
