Radiology Information System
A Radiology Information System (RIS) is a specialized software used to manage medical imaging data and related information. It helps healthcare facilities organize patient records, schedule appointments, and track the status of imaging procedures. By streamlining these processes, a RIS enhances the efficiency of radiology departments and improves patient care.
In addition to managing patient information, a RIS often integrates with other systems, such as Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), to store and retrieve images. This integration allows radiologists to access images and reports quickly, facilitating timely diagnoses and treatment decisions for patients.
