Getting Started & System Navigation as a Technologist

Setup

The Sirona Workspace is a cloud-native radiology workflow application. Access it at app.sironamedical.com using Google Chrome. 

Chrome browser is required. For the best experience and full functionality, always access Sirona using Google Chrome.

The Sirona Workspace Manager Chrome extension is optional but recommended. Once installed, it saves and restores window positions across monitors — including across an unlimited number of displays. If you move the Viewer to a specific monitor, it will reopen there on your next session.

Note: Ensure all popup blockers are disabled when using Sirona Workspace.

Left navigation overview

The left navigation is the main access point for key Sirona functions. Depending on your role and enabled features, it may include:

• Search — locate studies across your organization
• Worklists — manage studies by workflow state and queue
• Patient Jacket — review patient study history
• Viewer — view imaging studies (note two viewers available for radiologists that use multiple monitors)
• Reporter — dictate and sign reports
• System Administrator — manage users, roles, and system settings
• Product Portal- area for enhancement requests
• Support — submit tickets and access help as well as knowledge articles

Basic navigation workflow

When working in Sirona, follow this general approach:

• Start from the left navigation to open the area you need.
• Use Search when you need to locate a specific study or patient record.
• Use Worklists when you need to manage studies by workflow, assignment, or queue.
• Use System Administrator when you need to manage users, roles, or system-level configuration.
• Use Support when an issue cannot be resolved through workflow or configuration steps alone.

First-time setup tips

• confirm that the left navigation displays the tools expected for your role
• verify that you can open the areas you are responsible for using
• confirm where Support is located before production use

If expected navigation items are missing, the most common causes are account permissions, role configuration, or feature availability. These topics are covered later in this guide. 

Search

Use Search to locate studies across your organization. Search is accessed from the magnifying glass icon in the left navigation, above the worklist icon. You can search via MRN, Accession number or patient demographics.

Worklists

Worklists organize studies by workflow state, ownership, and clinic-specific needs.  The worklist  is accessed from the three lines icon in the left navigation.   Use them to review case queues, manage assignment, and access workflow-driven study lists.

System Administrator

Select the People icon in the left navigation to open System Administrator. From here you can manage users, roles, and system-level settings. The Admin Portal includes the following sections:

• Users — create and maintain user accounts
• Roles — configure permission groupings and access control
• Stats — review system statistics and operational data
• Clinic Setup — configure clinic-level workflow settings including workflow statuses
• System Settings — configure organization-wide settings

Support

Select the Support icon with a question mark in the bottom left navigation when an issue cannot be resolved through normal workflow or configuration steps. (see Support chapter for additional information).
