BridgeHead Software Introduces the Latest Version of Its VNA Solution
Healthcare Organizations and IT Partners Benefit From Broader Support for XDS-i and Overall VNA Performance Improvements

(firmenpresse) - WOBURN, MA and ASHTEAD, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 08/14/13 -- BridgeHead Software, a leader in , today announced enhancements to its Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) solution for healthcare 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).

New features in DICOM handling found in BridgeHead's VNA solution 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.
"Laurel Bridge performed a thorough evaluation of BridgeHead's VNA solution, and we are comfortable endorsing this product," said Bronson R. Hokuf, Vice President, , a leading provider of Imaging Workflow Solutions to the medical imaging industry. "BridgeHead's VNA solution proved to be very well-designed and functionally-sound; it will provide hospitals an advanced storage platform for managing all of their medical images, alongside other healthcare data, in one secure, centralized, easy-to-operate archive solution."
