This August, TeraMedica will mark the 10th anniversary of the first production use of its Evercore vendor neutral archive software (VNA).
 
A decade ago, development of VNA technology had just begun. As a pioneer in clinical content management, TeraMedica was originally founded out of the Mayo Clinic in 2001. Within two years, the archive was in use at Mayo.
 
Mayo Clinic sought a solution to their ever-growing clinical imaging interoperability needs and built the VNA software solution. The original system was awarded a number of patents by the United States Patent Office. Today, it houses approximately 2 billion DICOM images at Mayo, as well as nearly 400,000 non-DICOM objects. Mayo Clinic was a startup investor of this solution and still owns a portion of TeraMedica, currently retaining observer rights on the company¹s board of directors.
