Radiology recently hired new residents, one of which has misplaced MRI scans for an upcoming patient visitation. Which data system should be used to acquire these scans prior to the visit?
Pharmacy information system
Radiology-information system
Laboratory-information system
Picture archiving and communication system
The Correct Answer is B
A. Pharmacy information system. – This system manages medications and inventory in the pharmacy but is unrelated to imaging or radiology.
B. Radiology-information system. – This system organizes, tracks, and manages radiology-related data, including scheduling and reports, which would be useful for locating misplaced MRI scans.
C. Laboratory-information system. – This system manages lab test data, such as bloodwork or pathology, but is unrelated to imaging studies like MRI.
D. Picture archiving and communication system. – While this system stores and allows access to imaging files (like MRIs), it does not manage radiology workflows, making the Radiology Information System (RIS) the more suitable choice.
