Morphology (linguistics) tells us that "radiology" should become "radiological" when used as an adjective. Therefore, the title of this article should be "Radiological Information System". Many sources point to "radiology information system", however, I think most linguists and dictionaries would agree (including Merriam Webster), that the adjectival form of "radiology" is indeed "radiological". Because "information system" is the Head (linguistics of the Noun phrase, the adjectival form of "radiology" should be used. A good analogy would be "Clinical Information System" rather than "Clinic Information System".

This page should be moved to "Radiology Information System"

I agree - How is it done?

No, it shouldn't have been done. It's not a proper noun. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should, and precisely because it *is* a proper noun. More accurately, through its usage, it has become a name for a specific entity. This makes it a proper noun, because it is specific to a unique entity. Agentxp22 (talk) 10:50, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
