RadOS SDK · Vision

Every practice becomes a software company.

RadOS SDK is our vision for opening the platform: a path for developers, AI vendors, and practices to build on unified data and live events atop Sirona's HIPAA-ready cloud, without becoming an infrastructure team.

How Sirona is Different

Build on radiology's unified data layer

RadOS SDK is designed to expose the platform's data — images, reports, worklist, AI outputs, clinical context — through one unified API layer. No stitching across vendor systems. No ETL pipelines. No data reconciliation. Third-party developers will ship algorithms that integrate natively. AI vendors will reach DICOM pixel data, structured reports, and prior history in a single layer. Practices building custom tools will see all their data consistently.

What the SDK is designed to let you build

RadOS SDK is designed to give you the same platform the Sirona team uses — unified data, unified events, and HIPAA-ready, cloud-native infrastructure.

Unified Data APIs

Read images, reports, worklist state, and AI outputs through a single API layer. No vendor stitching, no ETL.

Event Subscriptions

On the roadmap: subscribe to workflow events — study opened, report signed, worklist reassigned — as they happen.

Event stream

HIPAA-Ready Infrastructure

Run your code inside Sirona's HIPAA-ready, cloud-native environment — built and maintained to Sirona's security and compliance standards, so you don't stand up your own.

Compliance

UI Extension Points

Inject custom UI into the reporter, viewer, and worklist. Your tool lives where your radiologists already work.

Algorithm Deployment

Ship models that run on pixel data at ingestion, on demand, or on voice command. Multi-model, multi-version.

Platform AI

Workflow Automations

Build practice-specific workflows — triage rules, routing logic, custom summaries — without asking Sirona to build them for you.

Cortex

Three audiences, one SDK

For Developers

Ship algorithms where radiologists already work

Traditional AI products live in a separate viewer — and radiologists don't use them. The SDK is designed to let developers ship diagnostic algorithms, workflow tools, and measurement automations directly into Sirona, where the radiologist is already reading. Distribution is the hard part; the SDK is built to solve it.

Publish to Sirona's practice base directly

Embed into the viewer, reporter, and worklist

No per-practice integration project

Versioning, rollout, and telemetry — planned

For AI Vendors

Direct access to unified data and real-time events

AI vendors struggle with integration. The SDK is designed to expose DICOM pixel data, structured reports, and patient history through one API, and the event stream will let algorithms fire on workflow triggers (study opened, report signed) as they happen.

One API for images, reports, priors, events

Real-time or async execution models

Run against the same data model as Platform AI

Runs in Sirona's HIPAA-ready environment by default

For Practices

Build without becoming an infrastructure team

Practices building tools for use on their own patients may fall outside FDA premarket requirements — confirm with your regulatory counsel. The SDK is designed to provide the data, the infrastructure, and the security posture. Your practice focuses on the tool, not the server rack or the security posture.

No infrastructure team required

Inherit Sirona's HIPAA-ready security posture

Deploy to your own practice quickly

Pre-draft reporting on your own data and workflow

The Ecosystem

Network effects across every practice on Sirona

The vision: a tool built by one practice becomes usable by every other practice through a marketplace, and an algorithm shipped by an AI vendor can reach every Sirona customer. Radiologists build for radiologists, and the platform distributes the value.

Marketplace distribution, on the roadmap

Practice-to-practice sharing

Algorithms versioned across customers

Community-driven capability growth

audiences unified on one SDK — developers, vendors, practices

data model for every capability built on the SDK

HIPAA

controls built into the infrastructure every app runs on

What radiologists build when they have a platform

“We built our AI on Sirona because it's the only infrastructure where the model, the images, and the report can live in one place.”

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 the endless clicks, drags, scrolls, and “scratch thats” slowing your radiologists down.

FAQs

Is RadOS SDK generally available?

Not yet. The RadOS SDK is in early access with design partners, and we'll share availability details as the program develops.

Do we need FDA clearance to build on the SDK?

Practices building internal tools for their own patients as a covered entity typically don't, though you should confirm with your regulatory counsel. AI vendors shipping to multiple practices do — the standard FDA 510(k) process applies.

Where does the code run?

The design is for your app to run inside Sirona's HIPAA-ready, cloud-native infrastructure, in a sandboxed environment with defined data-access scopes.

What languages and frameworks?

The plan is TypeScript and Python SDKs first, with REST and streaming APIs for any language that can speak HTTP.

Is there a marketplace?

A marketplace is on our roadmap — the plan is for the SDK apps and algorithms to be published where every Sirona practice can browse and install them.
