Which system commonly includes a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) that may be standalone or integrated?

Laboratory information systems
Pharmacy information systems
Radiology information systems
Relational database management systems

The correct answer is: Radiology information systems

Radiology information systems commonly include a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) that may be standalone or integrated. This allows for the storage, retrieval, distribution, and presentation of medical images, making it the correct answer. Laboratory information systems typically focus on managing laboratory test orders and results, pharmacy information systems on medication management, and relational database management systems on storing and retrieving data in a structured manner. However, it is the radiology information system that specifically incorporates PACS.
