heal.abstract	The efficiency and the quality of radio-oncology sector can be significantly increased by making use of telematics methods. The radiotherapy planning procedure can be based on digital patient data - acquired from CT / MRI - which are used to form a virtual patient model. This model can be made available at different sites than those of the patient's physical presence via telematics components mainly based on generally available networks. The addition of telematics components to radiation treatment planning systems will allow cooperation of radio-oncology centres, and lead to a significant cost reduction by virtual sharing of extremely expensive devices. Considering that the information, which is communicated between the involved radio-oncology centres is highly confidential and of great importance for the patient's treatment planning, security aspects must be examined in detail. In this paper, data security requirements together with proposed solutions in order to ensure the secure communication among users of radio-oncology centres are presented.	en
