The Uptime-server was realized for the availability check and prospective error-detection of the emergency teleradiology servers and clients based on encrypted digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM)-e-mail transfers. The concept and the experiences of 2years of use with more than 30 clients and servers in 15 hospitals and in nine other regional partners are shown. The Uptime-server does provide automated availability checks for all servers and clients, automated checks of the download speed of the Internet lines, and a graphical user interface for the clinical user and the system administrator. A clinical user can display the availability information from all clients and servers in the network (see http://www.teleradiologie-rnd.de ). In case of malfunctions during an emergency transfer, immediate reactions are possible, often without the need for help of a hotline or a system administrator. The chosen Uptime-server concept proofed to be reliable; it worked with products from nine different manufacturers without problems. Its statistical output can be used to fulfill the legal requirements of regular availability checks for teleradiology lines.
