Sharing a Study

How Shared Studies Work

When a study is shared, it is assigned to a specific worklist. Users within that worklist can access the study according to the permissions defined by their role. If the study is shared with an external recipient who does not already have a CIMAR account, they will need to register before they can access the imaging. Sharing a study provides secondary access to the study that is being shared. It is not creating a copy - think of it like creating a desktop shortcut.

- Email

Share directly to an email address. If the email address is not associated with an active CIMAR account, the recipient will be prompted to create an account before having access to the study. Shares to an email address are classified as external shares and any future interaction with the shared copy will not be captured in the original studies audit trail.
