Interaction with the VNAI platform. Upon completion of image acquisition, the VNAI platform is notified through the hospital information system (HIS) (1a). This, in turn, triggers the VNAI to retrieve relevant images from the PACS system (2) and to run analysis algorithms (3). Subsequently, results are sent back to the PACS system (4a), are available through a dedicated viewing solution (4b) or sent to other forms of storage (4c). The VNAI can also be activated directly by clinical users (1b) or researchers (1c). Numbers refer to the outline of VNAI components in the text
