Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA)
One Imaging Hub. Cross Enterprise. Fully Vendor Neutral.
Enterprise Imaging’s Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) simplifies your IT landscape and gives clinicians fast access to complete, high-quality imaging records across all sites, systems, and specialties. Truly vendor-neutral, it accepts imaging content from AGFA solutions as well as other third-party PACS and departmental systems – allowing you to evolve your ecosystem at your own pace.
Built on a modern, standards-based platform, it organizes and enriches clinical content across DICOM and non-DICOM data types, with on-premises and cloud storage options. Scale as your organization grows – smooth, controlled modernization aligned with your strategy.
Modernize Your Imaging Infrastructure
AGFA HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging VNA unifies all imaging data on a single platform, making management simpler and more cost-effective. Web-based tools centralize access, privacy, and lifecycle controls, while support for all image sources and rich metadata provides seamless workflows across hospitals and networks. Integration with Enterprise Imaging, the XERO® Viewer, and non-DICOM capture gives clinicians fast, reliable access to images wherever and whenever they need them.
Flexible and vendor-neutral, the VNA grows with your organization. It can consolidate imaging across departments and sites without replacing existing systems, supporting data from any PACS or source. Standards-based and modular, it allows you to add new workflows as needs evolve, enabling regional strategies, future scalability, and stepwise IT convergence.
Fully cloud-ready on AWS and delivered as a service (SaaS), the VNA eliminates storage forecasting and upfront capacity costs while keeping systems current. IT teams can shift focus from infrastructure management to supporting clinicians, delivering smoother, more efficient patient care. With our VNA, imaging data is accessible, secure, and ready to scale with your organization.
That’s life in flow.
Key Features and integrations
Discover the Advantages of Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA).
Unified Imaging for Informed Care
Unify imaging from all PACS and locations within the care setting so the care team can see a patient’s full imaging history. This helps improve the patient’s care experience and may reduce radiation exposure by reducing unnecessary repeat exams.
Instantly find the images you need
Enterprise Imaging VNA expertly curates and precisely tags all images – making the right data quickly findable and at clinicians’ fingertips.
Real-time Collaboration
Care teams can access images from anywhere, share insights, and collaborate across specialties for fast and more informed decisions.
Reduce Costs, Simplify Imaging
Enterprise Imaging VNA centralizes management, protects data, and optimizes storage for cost savings and easy access, using intelligent Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) tools.
Imaging Health Record™
Seamlessly embedded in the EHR as the Imaging Health Record™ (IHR), our standards-based VNA gives clinicians one clear view of the full imaging history and the collaboration tools they need—without ever leaving their workflow.
Imaging Health Network™
Brings together multiple IHRs, VNAs, PACS, and other imaging systems into one converged view, giving clinicians fast access to images across all sites. Built-in shared reading supports seamless cross-enterprise collaboration—enabling coordinated pathways, smoother transitions, and better care delivery across the network.
Scale & Customization
Customizable and scalable, the VNA unifies imaging data while supporting each department’s unique workflow—with a centralized architecture that supports regional and multi-site expansion.
Secure Access
Advanced access controls and audit capabilities keep imaging data safe and confidential.
Multimedia Management
Fast, easy image and report access within your network.
Healthcare systems generate multimedia content—such as endoscopy videos and medical photos for dermatology documentation—from many different sources, not just DICOM modalities. A VNA brings all of these assets into a single, unified system, making them easy to access, share, and preserve. This simplifies workflows, enhances collaboration across care teams, and helps ensure patients receive timely, well-coordinated care.
Multimedia Gateway
Our Multi-Media Gateway brings all hospital imaging apart from the directly connected modalities such as medical videos or photos, and even documents in their native format into one seamless workflow. It captures, curates, and stores data efficiently in Enterprise Imaging VNA, so care teams can access information quickly and keep patient records complete and up to date.
Native Multimedia
Capture, store, and manage all your clinical images and videos in their original format. Content stays accessible and integrated, with system-level vendor neutrality ensured. This helps care teams work efficiently and keep patient records complete.
IHE-XDS capability
IHE-XDS enables secure, standards-based sharing of patient documents and images across disparate healthcare providers. Care teams can quickly access what they need, helping them provide faster, more efficient care.
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
Optimize storage, maximize savings.
With ILM, storage, access, and deletion of clinical data are managed intelligently. Optimized file formats, tiered storage, and automated lifecycle rules lower costs without slowing access for care teams.
Complete Lifecycle Management
Automate every stage of your imaging data—from capture to archiving to regulatory compliant deletion. Cut costs, stay compliant, and keep data accessible.
Unified, Vendor-Neutral Archive
Consolidate all DICOM and non-DICOM images in one repository. Seamlessly integrate with workflows, support mobile capture, and scale to the cloud.

Trusted by Industry Leaders
“Because we are a teaching institution, all of our residents rotate working between ZSFG, University of California, San Francisco, and the Veterans Administration hospital. This means they deal with multiple different image management systems with different workflows and capabilities. We have gotten very good feedback on how our system compares to the others, especially from the people who tend to use a lot of the functionalities available.”
Stanley Lee - Radiology and Enterprise PACS Administrator - Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, USA
