• Eliminates the need for digital imaging and communications in medecine (DICOM) routing and application-specific caches
• Centralizes quality control (QC) logic
• Gains direct access to the metadata, independent of the pixel data
• Eliminates data duplication
• Encodes the data in XML, the enterprise standard
• Provides image-viewing capabilities through partnership with Vital Images.
