External Report Repository
External Report Repository Tests
Introduction
External Report Repositories are tested in two areas. The MESA software will test C-Find responses and will test the structure of SR objects stored in the repository.
Integration Profiles and Test Procedures
This document lists a number of tests for External Report Repository Systems. You may not be responsible for all of these tests. Please refer to the Connectathon web tool to list the required tests for your system. The web address of this tool depends on the year and project manager. Please contact the appropriate project manager to obtain this information.
Message Attributes
These tests will query the External Report Repository for attributes using the DICOM C-Find command. The table below lists the attributes used in the queries.

Message Values
Configuration
The External Report Repository scripts described below use an ASCII configuration file to identify parameters such as host names and port numbers. The configuration file is named ext_repos_test.cfg and is included in the directory $MESA_TARGET/mesa_tests/rad/actors/ext_rpt_repos. Edit the file and change entries (host name, port number) which pertain to your system. Your system is identified by entries that begin with TEST. The file $MESA_TARGET/runtime/wkstation/ds_dcm.cfg is used to configure the MESA Report Reader. The only parameter users should change is the LOG_LEVEL value. Log levels are defined in section 1.5. DICOM configuration parameters are listed in the table below.
| Application | AE Title | Port |
|---|---|---|
| MESA Report Reader | WORKSTATION1 | 3001 |
Read the Runtime Notes section of the Installation Guide to determine the proper settings for the MESA runtime environment.
Starting the MESA Servers
These instructions assume you are using a terminal emulator on Unix systems or an MS DOS command window under Windows NT. Each test uses a command line interface; there is no graphical user interface. Before you start the test procedure, you need to start the MESA Report Reader. Make sure the appropriate database is running (PostgreSQL, SQL Server). To start the MESA servers:
1. Enter the External Report Repository exam folder: mesa_tests/rad/actors/ext_rpt_repos
2. Execute the appropriate script to start the servers:
scripts/start_mesa_servers.csh (Unix)
scripts\start_mesa_servers.bat (Windows)
When you are finished running one or more tests, you can stop the servers:
scripts/stop_mesa_servers.csh (Unix)
scripts\stop_mesa_servers.bat (Windows)
Log files are stored in $MESA_TARGET/logs.
Submission of Results
Test descriptions below inform the reader to “submit results to the Project Manager”. This is does not mean “email”. The current submission process should be documented by the Project Manager, but will not include emailing files directly to the Project Manager.
Individual Tests
External Report Repository Test 1001: Modalities In Study
The DICOM attribute 0008 0061 is named “Modalities in Study”. The 801 series tests will send four Study Level queries to the Report Repository and query on this attribute. The table below lists the four queries (a-d) and the values used for matching key. For the a query, the attribute 0008 0061 is sent as zero length, so this becomes a return key.
| Query | Value for Attribute 0008 0061 |
|---|---|
| a | “” |
| b | “SR” |
| c | “CT” |

Instructions
1. Start the MESA servers as decribed in Starting the MESA Servers.
2. Clear your repository of any objects that are not SR objects. Place other objects that should be tested in your repository.
3. Run the script which sends three queries to your External Report Repository. The one argument to the script is the Patient ID of a patient you select with appropriate test data.
perl 1001/1001_rptrepos.pl <patient ID>
Evaluation
1. Evaluate the response of your system to queries a, b, and c:
perl 1001/eval_1001.pl
Supplemental Information
External Report Repository Test 1002: Related Series/SOP Instances
These tests query Report Repositories for DICOM attributes Number of Study Related Series, Number of Study Related SOP Instances.
References
Instructions
1. Start the MESA servers as decribed in Starting the MESA Servers.
2. You may use the same SR objects as with test 1001 (or load your repository with different objects).
3. Run the script which sends one query to your External Report Repository. The one argument to the script is the Patient ID of a patient you select with appropriate test data.
perl 1002/1002_rptrepos.pl <patient ID>
Evaluation
1. Evaluate the response of your system:
perl 1002/eval_1002.pl

External Report Repository Test 1011: SR Retrieve
This test will retrieve SR objects according to a Patient ID specified by you. Each object will be evaluated for “compliance with TID 2000”. The phrase “compliance with TID 2000” is stated in quotes because the tests are simplistic and are not meant to imply that your SR object is totally compliant the DICOM Supplement 53 and TID 2000.

Instructions
1. Start the MESA servers as described in Starting the MESA Servers.
2. You may use the same SR objects as with test 1001/1002 (or load your repository with different objects).
3. Run the script which sends C-Find and C-Move commands to your External Report Repository. The one argument to the script is the Patient ID of a patient you select with appropriate test data.
perl 1011/1011_rptrepos.pl <patient ID>
Evaluation
1. Evaluate the response of your system
perl 1011/eval_1011.pl <patient ID>
