title: Storing radiology images in the reform era: what CFOs need to know.
abstract: Vendor-neutral archives (VNAs) normalize PACS images and make image exchange possible, even when multiple divergent PACS or radiology departments are involved. These systems, onsite or cloud-based, allow for strategic and long-term growth regardless of the PACS used. Radiologists continue to operate with their system/vendor of choice, further strengthening productivity, satisfaction, and organizational loyalty. Finance executives shave costs, avoid future PACS expenses, and gain greater leverage with PACS vendors.
