Vendor neutral archives enable a single, central location to store large volumes of radiology data, but now need to be able to house data from dozens of other departments with a wide array of data formats. This article originally ran as an introduction to the Vendor Neutral Archives comparison chart.

Most radiologists and clinicians are not trained as information technology (IT) programmers or administrators, so here is a list of 10 questions to ask in order to have meaningful conversations when shopping for a new vendor neutral archive (VNA). 
According to a new research report1 on the contrast media injectors published by MarketsandMarkets, the market was estimated to be $1.3 billion in 2020 and projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4 percent over 2020-2025.

January 19, 2021 — Radiation exposure and side effects related to iodine contrast agents are the two main concerns of contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) examinations.

More complex, longer interventional procedures such as structural heart interventions or this revascularization of a coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, requires angiography imaging systems that have improved image detail and lower radiation dose. However, purchase of new systems was put on hold by many hospitals in 2020 due to the sudden drop in elective procedures and diversion of resources due to the COVID-19. Photo by Dave Fornell.

With the postponement of non-essential elective surgeries and medical procedures in 2020 to conserve medical resources for COVID-19 patients during the start of the pandemic, cardiovascular procedures were severely impacted.
