A radiology information system is a network software suite used by radiology departments to manipulate, store and distribute patient radiological data and imagery. A radiology information system helps in managing the administrative and operational functions of radiology. It complements hospital information system. Radiology information system is designed specifically for the radiology provider to take advantage of integration with the medical center's healthcare information system. It helps in patient management, patient tracking and scheduling, document scanning and technical files creation. It is considered as core system for electronic management of imaging departments. Use of radiology information system ensures high security, business integrity and confidentiality through full information log to the system by the administrator and eligible users. A web-based radiology information system is accessible from anywhere and also adapts to the needs of multi-site enterprises or hospitals and integrates mammography workflows, peer review and reporting to eliminate disparate systems.

Surgical lamp is a device which is used by medical personnel, such as doctors, dentists and surgeons, during surgical procedures such as neurosurgery, dental surgery, endoscopic surgery and optical surgery. Surgical lamps provide optimal illumination for operations. Surgeons require high intensity light that do not produces shadows and gives perfect brightness so they can visualize small and low-contrast objects in body cavity during surgery. Surgical lamps are used to meet the needs of operating room from large hospitals to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). These lamps help doctors and surgical teams to perform their task more safely and with less stress on their eyes. There are different types are lamps that are used by the surgeons during performing surgeries, such as tungsten, xenon halogens, quartz and light emitting diodes (LEDs).

E-health is a process of delivering healthcare and health resources by electronic means. It helps healthcare providers and patients to interact with each other with the help of electronic media.

Antimony trioxide is the one of the major compounds of antimony. Antimony oxide is mainly produced by two ways either by oxidation of antimony or by the process of re-volatilizing of crude antimony trioxide. The method of production is mainly dependent on the composition of ores. Antimony trioxide has the ability to react both as acid as well as base making it suitable in various end user applications. Antimony trioxide reacts with mineral acids to give the corresponding salts. The major applications of antimony trioxide include flame retardants, polymerization catalyst in manufacturing of PET, as an additive in brake linings of automobiles and to certain extent as a coating for certain grades in titanium dioxide pigments. The flame retardant application of antimony trioxide is expected to dominate the market for antimony trioxide. Countries such as China, Russia, South Africa and Kyrgyzstan are the major producers for antimony trioxide. The major consumers for antimony trioxide are developed regions especially Europe and the U.S. With growth in flame retardant market across the globe the market for antimony trioxide also expects a positive trend in next few years.

An independent third party referee, John Hayes founder and CEO of No Risk Automation, can help manufacturers in the automation process by eliminating the feeling of being pushed. Hayes explained, "It allows for the group to become a team and work together more collaboratively. In many cases the department that generated the process has little concept of the steps to take to get from concept to implementing the automation project. The ability to remove pressure from department budgets by having company senior management involved is very important. In many cases, changes are insignificant when lined up against company long-term goals."
