Instructions for Content Creators

These are generic instructions for uploading samples into Gazelle Test Management.  Individual IHE Profiles and FHIR IGs contain definitions and constraints for specific content types.

    1. Determine a representative set of your content according to the profile/IG requirements
    2. If you have this ability, render the content that you produced as a reference. The goal is for a Content Consumer actor to examine your rendering and compare to what their software produces. Perform a screen capture and/or save as JPEG or other reasonable format.
    3. Upload sample objects and the screen capture snapshot into Gazelle Test Management under menu Testing-> Sample exchange.
    • On the Samples to share tab, upload your sample objects(s) under the profile specific entry (e.g. "IPS-FHIR" for this IHE International Patient Summary (IPS)).
    • On the "summary" tab for some samples, you will see a list of Attributes.  As appropriate, select the applicable attribute entries. 
    • Refer to these help pages for details on managing samples in Gazelle Test Management.

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 preparatory test.

You may submit more than one set.

Instructions for Content Consumers

  1. Find sample images uploaded by other vendors in Gazelle Test Management under Testing -> Sample exchange.    On the Samples available for rendering tab you will find profile-specific entries for samples submitted by other vendors.  (When a Creator has uploaded a sample, you will see a small triangle in front of their system name.)  This page will evolve as vendors add samples, so be patient. 
  2. Find the samples that are relevant for your storage or display application.
  3. Retrieve the DICOM or zip files created by the other vendors.  (Refer to these help pages for details on this task in Gazelle.)
  4. Examine/import/render them so that you are confident your software understands the content.
  5. 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.
  6. The evaluation of this test is performed by examining the text you provided to make sure you made a good faith effort to review the sample images. If you find problems with some samples, we will give your feedback to the Modality test partner.

Evaluation

Creators and Consumers:  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.

There is no specific evaluation for this test. Feedback comes as Consumers partners test with DICOM objects in their lab.  The goal is no surprises.
