A critical component of a PACS system is its archive and image management system. Increasingly, this “back-bone” is shared by multiple departments, and able to manage not only pure image, DICOM based data, but also related information and serve the complete enterprise. The ultimate goal is to provide a vendor neutral archive (VNA) as it eliminates multiple migrations and can be a true core of a regional solution implementing the appropriate open standards such as DICOM, HL7, IHE and XDS as well as PIX/PDQ. This checklist can be used for a RFP, RFQ or RFI of the archiving and storage management solution of a radiology or cardiology PACS or enterprise imaging solution and will allow a user to determine whether or not a potential archive solution is a true VNA.

This White Paper describes VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) its use, and pros and cons in depth. (VNA) is a medical storage management device that provides scalable image and information and life cycle management so that medical images and related information can be queried, stored, and retrieved in a manner that is defined by open standards such as DICOM, HL7, IHE, XDS and PIX/PDQ, at multiple department, enterprise, and regional level while maintaining patient privacy and security. Characteristic for a VNA is that it provides a patient-centric approach that transcends upgrades and changes of the different viewing, acquisition, and workflow management components as they should be interchangeable without having to migrate, convert, or change the data formats or interface of the VNA.

The question of what monitor to use for diagnostic purposes with digital medical images has been a recurring theme ever since these images were first generated. Variations on this theme are: Can I use a commercial monitor for diagnosing medical images? Is a 3-megapixel (MP) display sufficient to look at chest radiographs? Related questions that we are often asked are: How should I calibrate these monitors? What is the impact of environmental light on the diagnostic capability of displays in the ER or the ICU?
This white paper provides practical guidelines for the selection of the right monitor for the right diagnostic application. We also will describe how to keep your monitor operating at diagnostic quality. In addition, we provide an introduction to the characteristics of displays and the key parameters that describe monitor performance.

Many institutions might forego the use of a RIS RFP for the purchase of their RIS system. Because of the scale of the investment, the fact that you will be married to a vendor for several years, and the fact that the effectiveness of a certain RIS system could vary dramatically depending on the vendor, the use of a RIS RFP is strongly recommended.
