Sirona Medical is addressing the needs of today’s radiology practices with a novel cloud-native platform that unifies radiology IT applications – worklist, viewer, and reporter – onto a single, streamlined workspace with the goal of enabling radiologists to work as fast as they can think.
The growing shortage of radiologists and the increasing volume of diagnostic studies, coupled with shrinking reimbursement, have placed radiology practices under enormous pressure. Designed to unify fragmented radiology IT systems, Sirona’s cloud-native platform aims to simplify workflow and boost the speed at which radiologists can read, diagnose, and report. Sirona’s collaboration with five leading national practices represents a major milestone for Sirona’s mission to transform medical imaging. Together, these practices are responsible for nearly two percent of radiology reads in the United States.
