DEVICE: Radiology Information Systems, Inc. (00860009490604)

An application software program, routines, and/or algorithms used as or in a radiology information system (RIS) to electronically receive, collect, store, manage, assist in analysis of, display, output, and distribute data, within/between facilites, to support the administrative and clinical activities associated with the provision and utilization of radiology services and facilities. It may be used for patient scheduling and work-list generation for specific radiological systems; it may be used in conjunction with PACS and include various technology imaging modalities. It is installed into a dedicated radiology information system or existing mainframe or decentralized computers/network.

A freestanding component of an x-ray-based diagnostic digital imaging assembly [e.g., a digital x-ray system, x-ray computed tomography (CT) system, or fluoroscopy system] designed to process patient radiological images; it may additionally be intended to be integrated as part of a radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS). It consists of dedicated hardware (e.g., computer processing unit, monitor) with integrated software typically to assist image analysis (e.g., viewing, manipulation, interpretation); it does not include controls for direct operation of the imaging system.

A freestanding, image processing device that is a component of a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for radiology designed to be networked with a wide variety of diagnostic imaging systems [e.g., x-ray, nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound (US), as well as a laboratory or hospital information system (HIS)]. It does not contain controls for the direct operation of a diagnostic imaging system and is designed to receive, archive, and transmit data both on-line and off-line. It is configured to provide limited or extensive capabilities to further process, manipulate and/or view patient images and information collected from diagnostic imaging systems.
