I think the point of using some of the imaging software is that when patches 
are applied to VistA, it would seem less likely to step on any scanning 
solution installed if the imaging routines used to retrieve documents from a 
server and link them to a patient were used to retrieve these scanned images.  
There is no necessity for the fancy software to display them as a browser 
would likely be fine for typical scans in a common format.
