Zero-Footprint
No workstation software. Nothing to upgrade.
Sirona RadOS is a Progressive Web App — it installs like a native app with its own icon and feels native, yet runs entirely in the browser. New features ship invisibly. No version management. No interruptions.
How Sirona is Different
PWA architecture. Native feel, no installer.
Sirona RadOS installs as a desktop app with its own icon and taskbar presence — indistinguishable from a native application. Deploy across your workstations with a Chrome Enterprise policy. Network-first caching means each launch picks up the latest version.
The architecture behind zero-footprint
A zero-footprint experience isn't accidental. It requires specific architectural choices at every layer.
Progressive Web App Deployment
Installs like a native app via Chrome Enterprise policy or one-click install. Appears as a desktop application with its own icon, taskbar, and full-screen mode.
Network-First Caching Strategy
Checks for fresh assets on every load, so the next launch runs the latest version — no user intervention, no restart dialogs.
WebGL Diagnostic Rendering
GPU-accelerated rendering delivers diagnostic-quality 2D/3D DICOM display entirely in the browser — no desktop app required.
On-Demand Frame Streaming
The frame in front of you is always fetched first, and the rest of the stack is prefetched behind it. We recommend a business-class connection of 50 Mbps or better.
Enterprise Deployment
Automated deployment through your existing device-management tooling. One policy sets the URL; every device installs and updates itself.
Global CDN Delivery
The application and its images are delivered over a global CDN with 700+ edge locations, from infrastructure close to the reader.
Built for IT teams who are done managing workstations
PWA Architecture
Installs as a desktop app. Updates invisibly.
Users click once, the app installs with a desktop icon, and it feels like a native imaging application. Every load checks for fresh assets, so new versions deploy without restart prompts or version dialogs.
Install pushed by Chrome Enterprise policy
Own icon, taskbar presence, full-screen mode
Network-first caching detects updates automatically
No restart dialogs or version-required messages
Continuous Deployment
New features ship continuously, silently.
Features roll out behind managed feature flags with staged release and instant rollback. Deployments land without downtime and without IT work. Version management becomes irrelevant when users always run the latest code.
Staged rollout with instant rollback
Managed feature flags gate every release
Formal change control with documented verification
New features reach every user with no maintenance window
Diagnostic Quality
Diagnostic-quality rendering, in the browser.
GPU-accelerated browser rendering delivers diagnostic-quality display without a dedicated imaging workstation, and on-demand frame streaming keeps navigation responsive. No compromise between zero-footprint and image quality.

IT Liberation
Take workstation images off your team's plate
No dedicated imaging workstations to procure. No PACS client to patch. No version lock-in. There are no PACS servers, SANs, DR appliances, or workstation images left for your team to run. What remains is Chrome, one extension, and the displays your radiologists read on.
No dedicated imaging workstations to buy or refresh
No PACS client software to install or patch
No version lock-in or coordinated upgrade windows
No servers, storage, or workstation images to maintain
Chrome

Zero-footprint in the wild
All you need is internet and power
“The great thing about Sirona is its accessibility. All you need is internet and power — from my side of the standpoint, Sirona provides all the rest. Sirona infrastructure is cloud-based. I need to log in to a web browser, and I can immediately start reading studies. It has an integrated reporter. I can immediately start dictating studies, and I can send back my reports instantaneously. Every component, every possible need that I had in order to provide the best care possible — in order to provide my vision to the people of North Dakota — was easily attainable through Sirona.”

Launch Day Excerpt: How Sirona is Built Different
Sirona's RadOS platform understands how a radiology practice really works. It starts by unifying all the data and tools needed for physicians to read seamlessly from anywhere at any time. The unique architecture and AI capabilities can automate many of the clicks, drags, scrolls, and “scratch thats” slowing your radiologists down.
