Start a Practice

Launch a modern radiology practice from day one.

Starting a practice used to mean servers, IT hires, and a year or more of waiting. Sirona delivers one unified platform — PACS, reporting, viewer, worklist, AI, and 24/7 support — ready on day one. A single radiologist can launch a full practice on Sirona. So can you.

How Sirona is Different

Modern from day one

Most practices inherit legacy technology — you won't. Sirona was built from first principles for cloud-native operations with pixel-powered AI, unified workflows, and automatic updates. Modern on day one means you never have to modernize.

Everything included in your practice platform

Every component a new practice needs to operate independently and grow confidently — from day one, in the cloud.

Cloud-Native PACS

Complete picture archiving and communication system. High durability, instant access from anywhere, no servers. Scale from one office to ten without infrastructure changes.

Explore PACS

Unified Reporting

Pixel-powered, cloud-native reporter included at no incremental cost. AI-driven dictation, real-time error detection, customizable templates. Replace PowerScribe from day one.

Explore Reporter

Diagnostic Viewer

Netflix-style edge streaming delivers diagnostic-quality performance globally. Read from home, office, or anywhere with internet — no VPN required.

AI-Ready Platform

Platform-native AI included: QualityAssist, Anatomic Navigator, AI Prior Summaries. Single-click integration with third-party vendors.

Built for how radiologists actually work

Starting a practice means doing everything at once. Sirona eliminates the entire IT category so you focus on building.

Day One

What you get on day one

A complete, unified platform — PACS, reporter, viewer, worklist, AI, high availability, global performance, an active SOC 2 program, and a dedicated support team. Solo radiologists have started full practices on Sirona with exactly this.

Complete unified platform ready to ingest studies

Platform-native AI included (QualityAssist, Anatomic Navigator)

Global diagnostic-quality viewing performance

HIPAA compliance and an active SOC 2 program built in

Dedicated onboarding and clinical support team

Weeks 1–12

How fast you're up and running

Most practices go live in a matter of weeks including training — versus the year-plus timelines of legacy PACS. No on-premise setup, no servers to provision, no extended IT integration.

How it grows with you

Start small, scale infinitely. One radiologist becomes five. One office becomes three. Cloud-native means adding radiologists or offices doesn't require new infrastructure or new contracts.

Scale from 1 to 50+ radiologists without infrastructure changes

Expand to multiple offices, states, or globally

Add AI capabilities via platform upgrades, not new vendors

Enable teleradiology partnerships without scaling infrastructure

Zero technical debt as you grow

Year 1 and beyond

Your first year, without the cost curve

Every other path to a new practice strings vendors together and watches costs compound as volume grows. Sirona carries you from first read to full operation on one platform — and keeps your cost line straight while you scale.

Launch fast — reading within weeks on a complete platform

Plug into hospitals and health systems through managed, standards-based connections

Scale as fast as you hire — no added hardware, software, or IT staff

Grow operations with agentic AI instead of layers of administrative overhead

Costs stay linear as volume grows — no compounding vendor and infrastructure spend

Dr. Luke Roller: extending access to care

How a single-physician practice extends access to care in ways that weren't possible before Sirona — no IT department, no infrastructure.

Epsilon Health

“We were live on Sirona in four weeks. As any growing practice will understand, that speed wasn't a convenience — it was the business plan. There is no other radiology platform where that timeline could even have been a consideration.”

FAQs

Do I really need to hire IT staff to start a practice?

Not on Sirona. Cloud-native means zero on-premise infrastructure — no servers, no patches, no maintenance staff. Performance is enterprise-grade (high durability, auto-scaling, managed security) and Sirona manages all of it. Your job is radiology.

How long does it actually take to go live?

Most practices go live in a matter of weeks including full training. Sirona's cloud-native architecture eliminates the on-premise setup that drives the year-plus timelines of legacy implementations. Early on it's integration, then training, then you're reading.

What if I start small and want to grow later?

Sirona scales infinitely. Start as one radiologist and grow to 50+. Open one office and expand to ten. All without infrastructure changes. Your IT footprint stays the same whether you're running one location or twenty.

Can I really compete with established practices on day one?

Yes. New practices get the same platform maturity, AI capabilities, compliance posture, and global performance that large enterprises have. Solo radiologists on Sirona have competed with established groups for enterprise work within months.

What about data migration from my current system?

If you're migrating from legacy PACS, Sirona handles full data migration as part of onboarding — historical studies, priors, and reports are accessible on day one. If you're starting from scratch, there's nothing to migrate; you just start reading.

How does pricing work for a new, small practice?

Volume-based and transparent. Reporter is included — no separate PowerScribe licenses. Cloud-native means zero capital expenditure on servers. No setup fees or hidden integration costs. Many new practices find Sirona costs less than legacy budgets once reduced IT overhead is factored in.
