MESA Software Release: Public Version

Test Software forthe 2007-2008 Cycle for Cardiology, Eye Care, ITI, PCC, Radiology

Version 11.11.0: 21-Mar-2008

Welcome to the MESA software distribution page. The tools are roughly divided into these categories:

Visualization (softcopy/hardcopy consistency): DICOMScope from OFFIS
XDS software from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
XDSI software from École de technologie supérieure, University of Quebec
PIX/PDQ V3 software from École de technologie supérieure, University of Quebec
PDI Media Creator Tests from Northwestern
Participant Submitted Files, PDI Files
HL7 Files/Specifications (CDA, CRS)
All other tools: MIR. This includes Cardiology, IT Infrastructure, Patient Care Coordination and Radiology tests.

In general, the tools are organized for a particular actor as defined in the IHE Technical Framework. Most users of the tools have one or more actors in mind. You should read the tests procedures and installation notes and then grab the tools that you need. The OFFIS and MIR tools are independent, so you may need only one set of tools depending on your application.

Visualization Tools

The test tools for softcopy/hardcopy consistency were developed under contract with O-Tech, Kuratorium OFFIS e. V., and the Institute for Microtherapy. The test tools and test plans are found on the Software Consistency Page.

OFFIS may have newer versions of the DICOMScope tool. The OFFIS DICOM URL is http://dicom.offis.de

Participant Supplied Data Sets, PDI Files

HL7 Data Files, Specifications

Some MESA tests require that you validate XML files against HL7 supplied schemas. These files are available to HL7 members as part of their membership.

MIR Tools for IHE Actors

Installation instructions are available on the MESA Documentation page.

The MESA software relies on data files which are stored in a separate directory. This is described in the Installation Guide. The MESA_STORAGE files are a collection of images (CR, CT, MR, ...) used as the inputs for various tests of integrated workflow. These are different from the images and presentation states used to test display consistency.
