RAD_IMR_IG-based_Validation
The Gazelle External Validation Service (EVS) performs validation using FHIR StructureDefinitions contained in the IHE Radiology Interactive Multimedia Report (IMR) Profile. The StructureDefinitions used by EVS are found on the "Artifacts" page of the IMR IG.
In this test, you will use the Gazelle EVS tool to validate:
- FHIR®© Resources created by your application and/or returned by your application in response to a query
- IHE transactions based on FHIR: outbound messages and responses with constraints defined in IHE transaction definitions.
The validators are available in EVS under menu IHE-->FHIR IG-based -->Validate.
This test appears in Gazelle Test Management as a Preparatory test for several IMR actors.
- If your actor initiates a transaction containing one or more FHIR Resources, or if your actor responds to a query and returns FHIR Resource(s), you should perform this test to use the EVS tool ensure the Resource(s) and transactions you support pass validation.
This table identifies IMR actors (Col 1), the content it creates (Col 2), and which validators in EVS to use to validate that content (Col 3).

Imaging Observation (experimental) |
- Using the table above, identify the FHIR Resources and FHIR-based transactions supported by your application
- Access the Gazelle EVS: https://gazelle.ihe.net/evs
- From the EVS user interface, select menu IHE-->FHIR IG-based-->Validate
- Upload the XML or JSON file produced by your application
- Select the correct Validator from the dropdown list.
- Click on Validate.
- Repeat as needed for other resources or transactions.
- The EVS creates a Permanent link to your results under IHE-->FHIR IG-based-->Validation Log
- Paste the Permanent Link into Gazelle Test Management as the results for this test.
- Many systems will have more than one result to report.
