Sirona Medical Acquires Nines Radiology AI Division
Summary
What You Should Know: – Sirona Medical, a software company with a cloud-native solution for radiologists, has announced its acquisition of Nines Radiology’s AI division. – This is Sirona’s first acquisition just months after its exit from stealth in Aug. 2021 with a total of $62.5M in Series A & B financing rounds. The FDA-cleared medical devices, NinesMeasure™, a lung nodule algorithm that leverages AI to accelerate the diagnoses of certain respiratory diseases, and NinesAI™ Emergent Triage, a set of AI-powered algorithms that triages time-critical, life-threatening indications of intracranial hemorrhage and mass effect, will be integrated into Sirona’s radiology operating system (RadOS), a unified platform that combines siloed radiology applications into a cohesive user experience. As part of the acquisition, key personnel from Nines will join Sirona Medical, including Maureen Bradford, as chief revenue officer. I am thrilled that Nines’ innovations will be integrated into Sirona’s impressive RadOS to accelerate their fantastic mission, clients, and team.”
