XDS-I.b_Prepare_Manifests

Introduction

This test is for Imaging Document Source actors in the XDS-I.b and XCA-I Profiles that support the "Set of DICOM Instances" option.  (If your Imaging Document Source only supports PDF or Text Reports, then this test does not apply to you.)

For this test, we ask you to create manifests for 3 studies that Connectathon Technical Managers provide.  This enables us to check both the metadata and manifest for expected values that match data in the images and in the XDS metadata affinity domain codes defined for the Connectathon (i.e. codes.xml).  (For other peer-to-peer tests during Connectathon, you will be able to also test with studies that you provide.)

The manifests you create for these 3 studies will be used for some XDS-I/XCA-I tests during Connectathon week.

Prerequisite test

Before you prepare the manfiests using the Instructions below, first load the DICOM Studies in the Test Data.  See Prepratory Test DICOM_QR_Test_Data

Instructions

Prior to the Connectathon, the Imaging Document Source should:

  1. Load the 3 DICOM studies onto its test system. (See 'Prerequisite test' above.)
  2. Construct 3 XDS-I Manifests, one for each of the studies.
  3. Submit one DICOM Manifest, for the CT study for patient C3N-00953, as a sample in Gazelle Test Management, and perform DICOM validation:
    • Log in to Gazelle Test Management for the Connectathon
    • Access the samples page:  menu Testing-->Samples exchange
    • On the "Samples to share" tab, find the entry for "XDS-I_Manifest"
    • Upload the .dcm file for your manifest
    • Under "Actions", use the green triangle icon to perform DICOM validation of your manifest using Gazelle EVS.  We expect a validation result with no errors.

 

Evaluation

During Connectathon, a monitor will examine your Manifest; there are two verifications that Connectathon Monitors will perform:

(1) examine the DICOM Manifest for the study

(2) examine the metadata for the submitted manifest

We do not duplicate the Evaluation details here, but we encourage the Imaging Document Source to read those details now to ensure its manifest will pass verification during Connectathon.  Find those details in Gazelle Tests Management on your Text Execution page in Connectathon test "XDS-I.b_Manifest_and_Metadata".
