Rising Demand of Image Archiving

PACS dominates over VNA generating most of the revenue from the PACS replacements. PACS systems store data as per the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) standard to maintain uniformity; however, different companies have different internal formats for storing data. Here, VNA helps in centralized storage and the universalization of the image format. The requirement for a repository of medical images for accessing and sharing is increasing drastically. Therefore, it is one of the fastest growing areas.

In addition, factors such as demand for storage of non-image medical data, reduction in the cost of data storage, integration with electronic health record (EHR) and compatibility of VNA with older data archival systems also drives this market.

Sales Affected by Long-Term VNA Lifecycles
