A Radiology Information System (RIS) is a computer system used by a radiology department to store, manage, retrieve, and distribute clinical and administrative information. A typical RIS is used for patient registration and tracking, results (report) management and distribution, image tracking, and maintains patient demographic information. A RIS can also include a HIS or PACS interface, scheduling, billing, or other capabilities.
