DeJarnette Research Systems has signed a letter of intent to acquire radiology information system (RIS) firm Swearingen Software of Houston. The purchase builds on the two firms partnership, announced last December at the RSNA (SCAN Special Report 1/99). Towson, MD-based DeJarnette hopes Swearingen will strengthen DeJarnettes position in the PACS and RIS markets. No financial terms of the transaction were released.
DeJarnette will integrate Swearingen Softwares RMS RIS into Radiance, its PACS product line. DeJarnette hopes to begin shipping Radiance by the end of the year.

Company president Randall Swearingen will become vice president of information systems and operations for DeJarnette. DeJarnette does not expect any layoffs or cancellations of existing products as a result of the purchase.
