Synapse VNA

In today’s hospital environment, medical images — such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, endoscopy videos, dermatology images, and PDF documents — are generated across numerous departments, devices, and systems.
When each department stores data separately, information becomes fragmented, difficult to locate or share, and costly to manage.

Fujifilm’s Synapse VNA (Vendor-Neutral Archive) provides a centralized solution to manage all medical images and related data — ensuring that every file is stored, accessed, shared, and protected in a unified, flexible, and secure manner.

Key Features

• Unified management of DICOM and non-DICOM data
  Store and manage all formats — including images, videos, PDFs, and JPEG/TIFF files — in a single archive.

• Patient-centric view across the entire care journey
  Provide a consolidated view of a patient’s data from consultation and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.

• Image Lifecycle Management tools
  Control data retention according to policies — from active storage to long-term archiving or deletion when no longer needed.

• Seamless integration with other healthcare systems
  Easily connect with HIS, EHR, PACS, RIS, and other systems so all imaging platforms can communicate efficiently.

• Integrated image and report viewer
  The Synapse Mobility Enterprise Viewer allows users to view both DICOM and non-DICOM images anytime, anywhere — even on mobile devices.

• High scalability
  Designed to store billions of images, serving multiple departments and facilities while supporting future growth.

• Enhanced security and compliance
  Protect patient data through strict access controls, audit trails, and adherence to healthcare data security standards.
