Misys shows RIS upgrades

Misys Healthcare Systems showcased last week at the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla., the latest version of its Misys Radiology v.4.3 with a number of upgraded features, some of which were developed through a collaborative process involving customers input.
