FAQ


It refers to the market for software and services that capture, store, manage, retrieve, and share medical imaging data across healthcare facilities. This includes PACS, VNAs, enterprise imaging platforms, and related cloud solutions.

Key technologies include PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems), Vendor Neutral Archives (VNA), Enterprise Imaging platforms, cloud-based storage, AI-powered diagnostic tools, and DICOM standards for image formatting and exchange. HL7 and FHIR protocols are also used for integration with EHR systems.

PACS primarily manages and displays imaging data within a radiology department, whereas VNA stores medical images in a standardized format independent of vendor-specific systems, enabling cross-departmental and multi-facility interoperability.

AI is utilized for image triage, detection, quantification, and workflow automation. The increase in regulatory approvals in 2025 is accelerating clinical deployment.
