BridgeHead Software announced enhancements to its Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) solution for health care organizations.

BridgeHead’s enhancements improve the way it handles DICOM images as part of its enterprise archive solution, providing hospitals and partners with broader support for Cross-enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging (XDS-i). XDS-i publishes images to an XDS repository that facilitates the sharing of those images inside a hospital and across a group of care sites.

New features include:

  • Improved Support for XDS-i – to publish images to an XDS interoperability framework and aid the retrieval of those imaging documents across a group of affiliated enterprises, using WADO (web access for DICOM objects);
  • Performance improvements – especially with regards to C-Move capabilities;
  • Fully cluster aware – the BridgeHead VNA can now be installed in a Windows cluster.
