Image Display Test 3620: Image Fusion –Vendor Interoperability

Instructions

Test 3620 tests the display of BSPS, Spatial Registration and image objects for Fusion created by other vendors. Every vendor’s objects submitted to the MESA test tool for this profile in test 3620 must be tested and properly displayed. No MESA software required.

1. DICOM data sets (BSPS, Spatial Registration, image series) created by Acquisition Modality and Evidence Creator actors in the Fusion Profile for MESA testing will be made available to Image Display actors. You will find these samples in gazelle under Connectathon--List of samples. Select your system name and look under Objects to render to find the sample images, BSPS and Spatial Registration objects for test 3620. We ask vendors to submit these samples at least 2 weeks prior to the pre-connectathon test deadline.

2. The Image Display should store these DICOM objects and display the fused images so that you are confident your software understands the content. You should display the original and fused data; try modifying the fusion overlay; ensure you can navigate various dimensions of the data

3. Create a screen snapshot from your own product which demonstrates that the Vendor-created DICOM objects were used to create a fused display as applicable. You should create a file using the document naming convention of: YourCompanyName_YourProduct_ 3620_ID_n, where n is any number to that you make up to differentiate the files if your company has submitted multiple screen shots. Upload this file into gazelle as the results for test 3620.

Evaluation

The evaluation of this test comes in the form of feedback you give to the creators of the data. If you find issues in displaying the fused studies, you should notify the Project Manager. You will be asked to work with those vendors (and the Project Manager) to resolve those issues.

BIR - Basic Image Review

This section describes tests that are specific to the Radiology Basic Image Review Profile

Test Case 4700: BIR Connectathon tests

The Image Display actor in BIR is unlike other IHE actors in that its requirements are primarily functional and do not require exchange of messages with other actors. At the Connectathon, a monitor will sit down at your system and run through a set of tests to evaluate the requirements in the BIR profile. With this test, we are providing you with the test steps and the accompanying images in advance of the Connectathon. We expect you to run these tests in your lab in preparation for the Connectathon itself.

Instructions

1. Download the Connectathon Test Plan for BIR Image Display actors: ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Connectathon/bir_data_sets/BIR_Image_Display_Connectathon_Tests-2014-04-07.pdf

2. Download the BIR test images (BIRTestData_2015.tar.bz2) found at ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Connectathon/bir_data_sets/

3. In that directory, you will also find an index to the BIR dataset. See ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Connectathon/bir_data_sets/_README_BIR_dataset_reference_2014-04-07.xls

4. Run the tests using your Image Display application. On or before the MESA test deadline, create a text file that briefly describes your progress in running these tests. Upload that file into gazelle as the result file for test 4700.

Evaluation

There is no pass/fail for this. We want to make sure you're making progress toward what is expected at the connectathon.

IID - Invoke Image Display profile tests

The tests in this section apply to Image Display actors in the Radiology domain Invoke Image Display profile.

Test Case 5100: IID - Prepare Connectathon Test Data

To enable Connectathon testing, the Image Display is required host studies on its Image Display.

There is one Connectathon test -- IID Invoke Display -- to exercise the Image Display and Image Display Invoker in the IID profile. The 'Special Instructions' for that test ask you to host a set of studies. This pre-Connectathon 'test' ensures you have the proper data loaded on your system prior to arriving at the Connectathon.

We do not provide specific studies for you, but rather define the characteristics of the studies you should bring

Instructions

1. Come to the Connectathon with:

• at least 3 studies for the same patient, ie will have the same value in patient ID, but the accession number and study dates will be different for each of these studies.
• at least one other study for a different patient
• a study containing a KOS object identify at least one image in the study as a 'key image'

Evaluation

1. Create a text file indicating that you have prepared this test data. Upload that text file into gazelle as the result file for this pre-Connectathon test. That is your indication that you have prepared for Connectathon testing.
