Which system is used to schedule, provide results, and store information related to diagnostic radiology procedures?

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

The correct answer is: Radiology information systems

The correct answer is C. Radiology information systems. Radiology information systems (RIS) are specifically designed to schedule, provide results, and store information related to diagnostic radiology procedures. RIS is tailored to meet the unique needs of radiology departments, including functions such as managing patient appointments, storing images and reports, and tracking procedures. Laboratory information systems (A) and Pharmacy information systems (B) are specific to laboratory and pharmacy operations, respectively, and do not typically manage diagnostic radiology procedures. Relational database management systems (D) are a general type of database system that is used for the storage and management of data in a wide range of applications but do not cater specifically to the needs of radiology departments.
