The PACS archive was a big technical challenge in the past. Now, it is no longer necessary to have an own archive for the (radiological) PACS. The CHILI PACS can come with its own archive but it can also save its data in the organization's archive provided by the customer, where all data of the organization is saved in an auditable manner.
The vendor neutral archive (VNA) is a solution for the standardized organization-wide archiving of all medical data of an organization. The CHILI archive is such a VNA. It consolidates different imaging systems of the institution and integrates them into a standardized system on the user level. The technical archive can be provided by NEXUS / CHILI or by the institution itself.
