Image Display Tests

Introduction

This document describes several tests for Image Display systems. The Display Consistency tests are defined in a separate document: Display Consistency Test Plan for Image Displays.

Integration Profiles and Test Procedures

This document lists a number of tests for Image Display 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

Image Displays may make queries using a number of attributes.  The tests defined in this document will request queries by specific attributes listed in the table below.  It is expected that the Image Display software will contain other attributes as well; the tests require only that some attributes are present.
The tests also allow you to perform multiple queries to cover all of the requested attributes.  That is, we list a number of attributes in the table below and do not expect your system to use all of these attributes as matching keys in a single query.

Matching Key Attributes for Image Displays

Message Values

Tests described in section 2 will require specific values in the matching keys.  These are defined in tables in section 2.

Configuration

The MESA Image Manager maintains a database of DICOM applications used for C-Move operations.  Add an entry for the storage SCP(s) associated with your workstation.  Edit the text file $MESA_TARGET/db/loaddicomapp.pgsql (Unix) or $MESA_TARGET/db/loaddicomapp.sql (Windows NT)  Use the existing entries as a template and add entries for your workstations as appropriate.  The column names found in the SQL insert statements are described in the following table.

You can test your work as follows:

     perl  load_apps.pl imgmgr

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 Image Manager servers.  Make sure the appropriate database is running (PostgreSQL, SQL Server).  To start the MESA servers:

1. Enter the Image Display exam folder: mesa_tests/rad/actors/imgdisp
2. Execute the appropriate script to start the servers:

      scripts/start_mesa_servers.csh  (Unix)

      scripts\start_mesa_servers.bat  (Windows)

Log levels are set for the MESA Image Manager in the file: $MESA_TARGET/runtime/imgmgr/ds_dcm.cfg.  Log levels are:

0. no logging
1. errors
2. warnings
3. verbose
4. conversational (really verbose)

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)

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

Image Display Test 501: Image Display SCU Query Keys

In this test, the Image Display is required to query the MESA Image Manager using specific matching keys.  For each matching key and value in the table below, direct the Image Display to make one or more queries of the MESA Image Manager.  Repeat or multiple queries are allowed.  That is, you might choose to query several times with a certain matching key.  We do not expect the Image Display to send individual queries with multiple matching keys (Patient Name and Patient ID), but the test software will allow that.

References

Instructions

1. Create/modify the SQL script to identify the Image Display under test.
2. Start the MESA servers as described in section Starting the MESA Servers.
3. Load the data sets into the MESA Image Manager.

perl 50x/load_img_mgr.pl

4. Send at least one DICOM Study Level C-Find request (Study Root model) to the MESA Image Manager for each attribute/matching key value defined in the table above.

Evaluation

1. Run the evaluation script to verify that each attribute was requested in a query.

 perl 501/eval_501.pl <AE Title of  Image Display>

Supplemental Information

Results will be found in the file 501/grade_501.txt.  If you need to clear the existing queries to run the test again, you can restart at step 3 or run this script:

      perl  scripts/clear_img_mgr_queries.pl

     perl  502/eval_502.pl <AE Title of Image Display>

     perl scripts/clear_img_mgr_queries.pl

Image Display Test 503: Presentation State SCU Query Keys

There are no extra requirements for Image Displays when querying for Presentation State objects.  There are other optional keys that are not tested with this software.

Image Display Test 505: Patient Information Updated in Image Manager

This test is not ready with this release of software.
This test simulates patient updates on an Image Manager.  This is an optional test as Image Displays are not required to honor patient updates (only suggested to).
You will be asked to retrieve images from the MESA Image Manager.  We will then change the patient name on the Image Manager and ask you to retrieve the images a second time.  Your software should update your internal system with the new patient name.
This test produces no results that can be recorded.

References

Instructions

1. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as defined in Test 501.
2. Retrieve the study for patient XXXX.
3. Select a new name for patient XXXX.  Change the name of the patient in the MESA Image Manager as follows:

perl 505/change_patient_name.pl <new  name>

4. Query the MESA Image Manager and retrieve the images for the renamed patient.  Your system should be updated with the proper information.

Image Display Test 3602: Adjusting transparency of the fusion overlay

<Note: the datasets needed to run this test are not yet available in MESA_STORAGE>

Reference

Rad TF-2:4.17.4.2.3.2

Instructions

In test 3602, the Image Display is required to demonstrate it provides the user the ability to adjust the transparency of the fusion overlay (blending factor). 

Prepare to receive the test objects for this test. From the imgdisp test directory, you can use the script:

     perl scripts/store_fusion_objects.pl 3602  <AE Title> host port

1. The Image Display should display the fused images with the default blending parameters.
2. Perform a screen capture and store the result in a JPEG, GIF or other format that is easily displayable using IE.
3. Label the file with your company name and test number-BEFORE (eg XYZ-Company-3602-BEFORE.jpg) and submit to the Project Manager for evaluation.
4. Next, the Image Display demonstrate that the user can adjust the transparency of the fusion overlay.  Perform a screen capture of this modified display.
5. Label this second screen capture file with your company name and test number-BEFORE (eg XYZ-Company-3602-AFTER.jpg) and submit to the Project Manager for evaluation.  There will be separate instructions for uploading the images (ftp, web upload). Do not email the images.

Image Display Test 3620:  Image Fusion –Vendor Interoperability

References

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 551 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.
2. The Image Display should store these DICOM objects and display the fused images.
   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_2006, where n is any number to that you make up to differentiate the files if your company has submitted multiple screen shots.  Submit to the Project Manager for evaluation.  There will be separate instructions for uploading the images (ftp, web upload). Do not email the screen shots.

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 will be asked to work with those vendors (and the Project Manager) to resolve those issues.
