REM_De-identify_Dose_SR_Sample

Overview

In the REM profile, Dose Information Reporter systems are required to have the capabililty to de-identify Dose SR objects. See RAD TF-2: 4.63.4.1.2.1 .

In this test, Dose Information Reporters perform de-identification and then submits it as a sample into Gazelle Test Management. Dose Register systems can retrieve and test with those samples.

In order to facilitate this testing, please submit your samples 2-3 weeks before the usual Preparatory test deadlines.

Instructions for Creators

FIRST, prepare the samples-->

  1. Your task is to de-identify a Dose SR. You may have your own original SR to use, or you may choose to start with a sample Radiation Dose SR submitted into Gazelle Test Management by one of the REM Acquisition Modality partners for preparatory test 'REM_Dose_SR_Sample_Exchange'.
  2. Place both the original and de-identified Dose SRs in DICOM Part 10 files. These are your 'sample' files.

SECOND, upload your samples -->

  1. Upload DICOM Part 10 file into Gazelle Test Management under Connectathon -> List of samples. On the 'Samples to share' tab, find the entry for REM-De-identify-Dose-SR and add your two samples.
  2. Assuming you have this ability, render your de-identified sample.  Perform a screen capture and/or save as JPEG or other reasonable format.  Upload the screenshot into Gazelle Test Management.
  3. Create a short txt file indicating you have completed the upload step. Upload '''that''' txt file into Gazelle Test Management as the result file for this pre-Connectathon test.
  4. There is no specific evaluation for this test.  Feedback comes as your Consumer partners test with your SRs in their lab.

Instructions for Consumers

  1. Find Dose SRs uploaded by other vendors in Gazelle Test Management under Testing -> Sample exchange.    On the Samples available for rendering tab under the REM-De-identify-Dose-SR entry, you will find samples original and de-identified Dose SRs, and (optional) screen captures submitted by other vendors.  This page will evolve as vendors add samples, so be patient. 
  2. Retrieve the files created by the other vendors.  Refer to these help pages for details on this task in Gazelle.
  3. Examine/import/render them so that you are confident your software understands the content.
  4. When you are finished, create a .txt or other file that lists the samples you tested with, and a brief comment on your result (eg "ok", or "could not render"). Upload that txt file into Gazelle Test Management as the result file for this preparatory test.
  5. If you find issues with the images, send an email to the Connectathon Technical Manager.
  6. The evaluation of this test is performed by examining the text you provided to make sure you made a good faith effort to use the template in your system. If you find problems with some samples, we will give your feedback to the Modality test partner.
  7. The goal is no surprises.

Evaluation

  1. In Gazelle Test Management, find the entry for this test instance, and change the status to "Verified by Vendor". This is a signal to the Technical Manager that you have completed this task.
  2. The evaluation of this test comes in the form of feedback from vendors who try to import/process/display the contents of your objects. If they find issues, you will be asked to work with those vendors to resolve those issues
