Hospital / Modality
Modalities and hospital systems send studies into the archive path using DICOM C-STORE.
VNA
Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA)
Follow the journey of an image from hospital to archive. Modalities send DICOM C-STORE, orders match via HL7 accession, the VNA validates and indexes, studies move Hot → Warm → Cold, and authorized systems retrieve them automatically — with encrypted transfer and full audit trail.
- DICOM C-STORE ingest from hospital modalities and PACS
- HL7 order matching by accession number
- Validate + index into a vendor-neutral archive
- Hot → Warm → Cold tiered storage with encrypted transfer
- Automatic access for Web Viewer, external PACS, and DR
- API-traceable steps with automatic audit logging
Powerful Features for Modern Healthcare
Vendor-neutral archive with tiered storage and standards-based access.
Order matching
Incoming images are matched to the correct order and patient context via HL7 using accession number.
VNA archive
Studies are validated and indexed in a vendor-neutral repository independent of any single PACS brand.
Tiered storage
Lifecycle policies move data Hot → Warm → Cold with encrypted transfer between storage tiers.
Viewing / Access
Authorized Web Viewer, external PACS, and disaster-recovery paths retrieve studies automatically when needed.
Traceability
Every step is traceable via API and an audit log is kept automatically for compliance and operations.
Who needs a VNA
Designed for healthcare organizations that need reliable, scalable medical image management.
Multi-PACS health systems
Unify imaging history across acquired hospitals and departments that still run different PACS platforms.
Long-term retention programs
Move studies through Hot, Warm, and Cold tiers beyond active PACS capacity with clear retention policies.
Migration & exit strategy
Reduce vendor lock-in by keeping the archive standards-based and accessible to multiple front ends.
Security & archive controls
Encrypted transfer, auditability, and long-term retention policies.
Encrypted transfer
Secure ingest and retrieval between modalities, VNA, and viewers.
