Abstract
The use of download links instead of physical patient CDs requires new standards that are able to integrate these virtual media into clinical processes.Due to the challenges in practice, a DIN working group on QR codes and online availability of image data was launched in 2023 by the German Radiological Society (DRG) and the Professional Association of German Radiologists (BDR). Its members, i.e. users and manufacturers, developed solutions with a focus on state-of-the-art technology, fulfilment of legal requirements, practical usability, and implementability. Additional framework conditions to be considered were data transfer as an HTTP link and the use of ZIP containers with a mandatory IHE PDI media structure that can optionally be supplemented by an IHE XDM media structure.The results are summarized in DIN/TS 19455 DICOM Link Exchange (DLX), which defines the content of the media for the transmission of access data, the content and format of the virtual patient CDs, as well as an OpenAPI-based interface for automated data access. In addition, DIN/TS establishes the minimum functional requirements for manual data access.DICOM Link Exchange enables the integration of virtual patient CDs in clinical processes and has the potential to replace physical data media. In combination with the MIO Image Report and the use of the gematik email service KIM for data transmission, there is now the possibility of a nationwide digital exchange of radiological images and reports without a complex infrastructure. · DLX enables the integration of virtual patient CDs in clinical workflows.. · DLX has the potential to replace physical patient CDs.. · DLX can speed up digitalization in healthcare.. · Kämmerer M, Engelmann U, Eßeling R et al.

期刊介绍:
Die RöFo veröffentlicht Originalarbeiten, Übersichtsartikel und Fallberichte aus dem Bereich der Radiologie und den weiteren bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin. Es dürfen nur Arbeiten eingereicht werden, die noch nicht veröffentlicht sind und die auch nicht gleichzeitig einer anderen Zeitschrift zur Veröffentlichung angeboten wurden. Alle eingereichten Beiträge unterliegen einer sorgfältigen fachlichen Begutachtung.
Gegründet 1896 – nur knapp 1 Jahr nach der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen durch C.W. Röntgen – blickt die RöFo auf über 100 Jahre Erfahrung als wichtigstes Publikationsmedium in der deutschsprachigen Radiologie zurück. Sie ist damit die älteste radiologische Fachzeitschrift und schafft es erfolgreich, lange Kontinuität mit dem Anspruch an wissenschaftliches Publizieren auf internationalem Niveau zu verbinden. Durch ihren zentralen Platz im Verlagsprogramm stellte die RöFo die Basis für das heute umfassende und erfolgreiche Radiologie-Medienangebot im Georg Thieme Verlag.
Besonders eng verbunden ist die RöFo mit der Geschichte der Röntgengesellschaften in Deutschland und Österreich. Sie ist offizielles Organ von DRG und ÖRG und die Mitglieder der Fachgesellschaften erhalten die Zeitschrift im Rahmen ihrer Mitgliedschaft. Mit ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kernteil und dem eigenen Mitteilungsteil der Fachgesellschaften bietet die RöFo Monat für Monat ein Forum für den Austausch von Inhalten und Botschaften der radiologischen Community im deutschsprachigen Raum.
