With so many moving pieces to keep track of, running a successful radiology practice takes a lot of time and attention. When compared to competing radiology offices that have adopted contemporary technology in the form of a Radiology Information System, practices that rely on old paper-based methods to manage their work and preserve patient data are at a major disadvantage.

A Radiology Information System (RIS) is a complex database system used by radiology medical practitioners to maintain track of patient data and the massive picture files created during diagnosis and treatment. A radiology information system, or RIS, is a type of electronic health record (EHR) system built particularly for use in radiology. It's what you use to edit and disseminate patient data.
