Each step in scanning is transferred to the MPPS server in order to update the status of the study on the MiRIS visual reservation terminal.

Inventory management is a very important module in all radiology information systems. each study needing any items (e.g. contrast media, bandages, Alcohol, ...) must be withdrawn from inventory and should update the price of the exam if it is not included already. At the modality room, the operator should have a RIS terminal to manage work lists, job orders and inventory. Also, the Inventory controller should print outputs from items added, returned, wasted, etc. MiRIS can do all these features in an easy and professional way.

Most of RIS systems include a basic reporting module to handle typing reports for performed studies. MILLENSYS has isolated its reporting module in a stand-alone and integrated software called MiReport. MiReport represents a professional solution for reporting including all types of report (e.g. word processor, templates, structured, dictated by either digital voice recording or speech recognition).
