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-->
- 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'.
- Place both the original and de-identified Dose SRs in DICOM Part 10 files. These are your 'sample' files.
SECOND, upload your samples -->
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- There is no specific evaluation for this test. Feedback comes as your Consumer partners test with your SRs in their lab.
Instructions for Consumers
- 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.
- Retrieve the files created by the other vendors. Refer to these help pages for details on this task in Gazelle.
- Examine/import/render them so that you are confident your software understands the content.
- 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.
- If you find issues with the images, send an email to the Connectathon Technical Manager.
- 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.
- The goal is no surprises.
Evaluation
- 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.
- 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
